Clinical Educ. Experience II

Catalog description

This course is the first of two terminal full-time clinical education experiences occurring under the direct supervision of a licensed physical therapist. The purpose of this experience is to refine professional behavior, as well as skill and efficiency in the areas of patient examination, evaluation, goal setting, program planning, intervention implementation, and clinical decision-making in a setting that will meet the educational needs of each student individually. Through interactions with patients and other healthcare disciplines, students will have the opportunity to integrate academic coursework into a variety of patient settings. This rotation may be completed in an acute care hospital, post-acute rehabilitation unit, skilled nursing facility, outpatient center, early intervention/school setting, home care, specialty care, or a combination of above.
