PT 869 a b c d Independent Study
(2 credits)
This elective course is offered beginning in year one of the entry-level curriculum with a final grade given in the spring semester of the third year. The course is designed to offer students the opportunity to explore one of four opportunities: a) research, b) international experiential learning, c) education, or d) administration. The course provides the student with an opportunity to delve more deeply into the subject matter of a wide range of professional topics. The purpose of this course is to provide the entry-level physical therapy student with an in-depth experience while working with an experienced mentor. Regardless of the area selected, critical thinking is emphasized. The process of identifying a relevant physical therapy problem requires the definition of the relevant question, an outline of the knowledge or skills that must be mastered to address the problem, and acquisition of information or data that informs decision making. In order for a topic to qualify for course credit, the topic requires practice and guidance by a mentor and knowledge and skills that go beyond the scope of the entry-level content.
