Clinical Triage

Catalog description

Clinical Triage offers a 40-hour experience to develop screening and management skills for the neuro-musculoskeletal patient in a primary care setting. This is an opportunity for physical therapists to shadow the health care practitioner while observing the integration of history and physical, lab results, radiographs, and medications in the typical primary care practice. This experience would allow the physical therapist to practice screening and history taking under the supervision of a physician. It provides the opportunity to improve communication between physicians, physical therapists, and staff (i.e. physician assistants, RN’s, LPN’s, and nurse practitioners).
