Clinical Practice III

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 third course of the series will focus on teamwork as a means to facilitate professional relationships and expand services to meet the needs of patients. Students will also be introduced to health insurance as it relates to access and payment for physical therapy services.
