The Evolution of PORi
The journey from Oncology Rehab to PORi

What is PORi?
The Physiological Oncology Rehabilitation Institute (PORi) was established in 2014 as the education and consulting arm of Oncology Rehab. Today, PORi is our primary focus. While Oncology Rehab staff continue to treat patients, our mission has expanded to supporting excellence in cancer rehabilitation for health systems across the U.S. and internationally. PORi offers oncology rehabilitation program development, center of excellence accreditation, and continuing education courses in oncology rehabilitation for Speech Language Pathologists (Speech Therapists), Physical Therapists (Physiotherapists), Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapy Assistants and Occupational therapy Assistants.
Our institutional clinical experience from treating over 30,000 cancer rehab patient visits annually at Oncology Rehab is combined with the latest evidence-based research and a thorough scientific understanding of the physiological impact of cancer and its related treatments to form the foundation of PORI’s educational curriculum, our COE accreditation and program development services for facilities.

Oncology Rehabilitation Courses
PORi provides a comprehensive Oncology Rehabilitation curriculum for Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Speech-Language Pathologists. With a strong focus on live patient presentations, practical clinical skills, and a deep understanding of oncology’s physiological impact, PORi equips therapists to effectively treat this unique and rewarding patient population.
Oncology Rehabilitation Certification
PORi's curriculum empowers therapists to develop expertise in oncology rehabilitation through an interlinked suite of Foundational, CORE and Adjunct Course Modules. Each course module is an assessment-based certificate program. Therapists who complete specific module combinations and maintain a consistent oncology practice earn the designation of PORi-certified Oncology Rehabilitation Specialist.
PORi Center of Excellence in Oncology Rehabilitation
A facility is designated as a Bronze PORi Center of Excellence when it has at least two PORi-certified Oncology Rehabilitation Specialists or at least one PORi Oncology Rehabilitation Therapist in each CORE course discipline.
Silver and Gold COE Accreditation are awarded based on meeting operational standards and integrating oncology services.
For health systems, when at least 75% of locations in a region achieve PORi Center of Excellence status, the entire regional system earns the designation.
