Special Topics

Catalog description

The practice of physical therapy is constantly evolving. As such, there are topics of importance that emerge that are not embedded in the curriculum. This course, Special Topics, is designed to provide students with exposure to these areas of interest. Each year, a renowned speaker on noteworthy topics influencing the practice of physical therapy, from outside the Touro faculty, will be invited to address the students. A question-and-answer period will be integrated into all presentations affording students the opportunity for direct interaction with the expert speaker. The purpose of this course is to provide students with the chance to learn from experts in the field and reflect on the implications for clinical practice for both emerging and veteran clinicians. Following each guest lecture, all students will engage in small group discussions with the Touro DPT core faculty to review the information.
