Catalog description

This course expands on the foundational concepts of critical thinking and clinical reasoning by incorporating collaborative decision-making, self-assessment within the master adaptive learning process, critical appraisal of literature for evidence-based practice, and systems thinking to address social and structural determinants of health beyond the level of the individual. Learners apply these concepts to the management of patient cases across various clinical settings that include individuals with an acute, musculoskeletal, or neurological condition.
