PT 636 Exposure to Physical Therapy in a Health Care System
(1 credit)
This course is designed to expose first-year physical therapy students to current physical therapy practice in a given healthcare system. This is not designed to be a full-time clinical experience. Students will be exposed to physical therapy practice and clinical decision making in inpatient and outpatient settings. This course provides the student an opportunity for a practicing clinician to evaluate the student behavior in areas such as safety, personal and interpersonal professional demeanor, ethical and legal standards, communication, and responsibility for self-learning. Students are assigned to a clinical site four hours every other week for 10 weeks in the fall and 10 weeks in the spring of the first year. A clinical activity is assigned for each clinical week and coincides with the current academic learning unit. Assignments are completed in response to each clinical activity and in the “off week” students meet on campus during the Tuesday afternoon time slot in small groups to complete and share assignments in a problem-based, collaborative experience.
