Catalog description

This is the fourth and final full-time clinical education experience for students enrolled in the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program following completion of all academic coursework and three prior clinical experiences. This terminal clinical experience takes place over 14-weeks and is intended to allow the student to master the entry-level skills required to perform all elements of the patient/client management model - including examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, and intervention. At the completion of this experience, students are prepared to practice across the lifespan, along the continuum of care.
