Clinical Practice I

Catalog description

The Clinical Practice course series gives students a variety of exposures to clinical situations and experiences to integrate classroom learning with real and simulated patient encounters from the first- through the third-professional year. These encounters are designed in stepwise fashion to guide the development of interpersonal, communication, and decision-making skills while affording the student an opportunity to practice select clinical skills. Didactic sessions in this first course of the series will introduce patient communication and mobility skills. Students who register for DPT 531 must also register for a DPT 531 laboratory. For example, if you register for DPT 531 you must, at the same time, register for a section of DPT 531L .
