Clinical Reflections IV

Catalog description

Through clinical practice and participation in professional activities, students will be able to integrate clinical skills presented during course work into clinical practice, as well as enhance their awareness of Physical Therapy as a profession. The student will utilize reflection regarding their clinical work as a means of enhancing the educational experience, making on-going clinical practice an integral part of the curriculum. This elective course, which is part of the clinical reflection series, is designed as an independent study course, and is reviewed by the course coordinator. The goal of this course is to provide continuity between Spring and Fall semesters and assist the student as they continue to integrate didactic information with clinical practice. It is intended for students who would like further feedback about the effect of their course work on their clinical practice. This is an optional course and like the other courses in the series is designed such that students will complete assignments throughout the curriculum at the end of the Summer semester. Every student in the Post-Professional DPT Program is required to be a member in good standing of the American Physical Therapy Association (or other approved professional PT association). This requirement will be monitored during this course series.Through clinical practice and participation in professional activities, students will be able to integrate clinical skills presented during course work into clinical practice, as well as enhance their awareness of Physical Therapy as a profession.
