Clinical Practicum II

Catalog description

This full-time final clinical practicum, consisting of two unique clinical education experiences, will allow the students to interact with patients under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist or physical therapist assistant, in both an inpatient and an outpatient setting (as available). During this practicum, students will focus on ethics and legislation, patient interactions across the lifespan and diagnosis complexity, professionalism, and documentation while moving towards greater independence with carrying out the interventions detailed in the PT POC and managing an average PTA caseload. By the end of this clinical practicum students should demonstrate entry level proficiency in all aspects of patient care and physical therapy intervention.
