Advanced Continuing Education’s Dry Needling Bridge to 50 Hours
This course is designed to aid dry needling practitioners in Indiana in meeting the IAPTA's recent mandate requiring 50 hours of dry needling education by the end of June 2024. We place special emphasis on safety, particularly in mitigating risks associated with needling near lung fields.
The course structure includes several sections: an updated evidence review, a safety review emphasizing lung field considerations, high-value techniques selected by our Advanced Continuing Education team, reviews and hands-on practice of techniques chosen by course participants via pre-course polling, and a discussion or review of alternative dry needling techniques.
Our course's main objective is to bridge the gap between a participant’s current continuing education (CE) volume and the required 50 contact hours mandated by the IAPTA. We facilitate this by welcoming participants who have completed their initial training with other CE providers to join our course.
To offer greater flexibility, we offer a tiered participation structure, enabling participants to opt out of sections they find less meaningful, thus earning fewer CEUs. However, safety-related portions of the course will be mandatory for all participants.
Bridge Tier 1:
Schedule: Friday only
Content: 10 hours in-person + 5 hours asynchronous
Total: 15 hours
Price: $700
Bridge Tier 2 (Includes Tier 1):
Schedule: Friday + half day Saturday

Dry Needling 2 (DN2) (Includes Tiers 1 and 2):
Schedule: Continues from Saturday through Sunday until 5pm

Participants can opt for just Level 1 or both levels of the Bridge course, depending on their needs. Those looking to further their skills can continue with the DN2 course over the weekend.
