Clinical Education III

Catalog description

(8 weeks) This is the third clinical experience for Physical Therapy students enrolled in the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program, following two and half years of academic training, a six-week clinical, and a ten-week clinical. During this eight-week clinical experience, students should progressively assume a caseload and develop their clinical decision-making skills as they progress both simple and complex patients through the patient/client management model. The students will be given some administrative responsibilities as well. The clinical education of Touro University DPT students will reflect the themes of reflection, ethics and cross-cultural competence, interprofessional collaborative practice, professionalism, and communication.
