Clinical Entrustment I

Catalog description

Clinical Entrustment I is a full-time, 10-week clinical experience that engages learners in physical therapy practice under the supervision of clinical faculty.

Emphasis is placed on safe and ethical practice, effective communication, professional behaviors, and integration of clinical decision making into physical therapy management.
