Experiential Learning IV

Catalog description

This represents the fourth clinical education experience in the professional degree program. Students at this level are challenged to progress their professional knowledge and skills through graduated supervised clerkship activities that allow for autonomous experiences needed to prepare them to make clinical decisions. In order to maximize such opportunities through patient/client interactions, students are exposed to learning exercises that are carefully structured to elevate their competence from novice to advanced beginner. Along with connecting theory to practice across a spectrum of clinical conditions, students are presented with activities that accentuate biomedical and ethical considerations in human performance and optimization interventions. Corresponding links to health care administration and professional responsibility are also emphasized to ensure fluency/literacy in this practice domain.
