PT 658A Exposure to PT in a Health Care System I
.5 credits
This course is a part-time Integrated Clinical Education (ICE) experience designed to expose first-year physical therapy students to current physical therapy practice in a given health care system. This is not designed to be a full-time clinical education 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 4 hours every other week for 10 weeks in the fall. A clinical activity will be assigned for each clinical week and will coincide with the current academic learning unit. Assignments will be completed in response to each clinical activity, and in the “off week” students will meet in small groups to complete and share assignments in a problem based, collaborative experience.
