Theoretical and Clinical Reasoning in Context

Catalog description

This course requires students to integrate knowledge gained from foundational, practice and research courses in order to design, plan and implement reflective intervention strategies for complex cases. Students develop an understanding of the nature of clinical and professional reasoning, the various types of reasoning, and how they may be used in practice. Theories behind assessment and intervention are revisited to challenge students’ thought processes and prepare them for the complex practice environment, including the reality of billing and reimbursement systems. Case studies, videos and other real-life experiences are used to promote the reflective processes involved in clinical and professional reasoning.
