Community Clinic III

Catalog description

The Community Clinic course will provide the student with opportunities to integrate current professional and personal knowledge, attitudes, and skills into service activities performed in various pro bono clinic settings and inter-professional learning activities. The provision of service will focus on the health and wellness of defined community populations. Sections of the course will occur in the spring semester of year two in the physical therapy curriculum. This course emphasizes the clinical decision-making thought process to include the identification of health conditions outside the physical therapy scope of practice or referring clients to other health care providers. Students in this course more closely model what is expected for an entry-level practicing physical therapist.
