PT 672 Integrated Patient Management II: Acute Medical Conditions

5 credits
This course will focus on the physical therapy management of individuals with acute medical/surgical conditions.  This course uses cases to integrate foundational, clinical, and practice-related content across diverse areas. The foundational content focuses on the pathophysiology and medical/surgical management of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. The clinical content includes the integration of information from the patient history, laboratory and clinical test results, and physical examination to evaluate individuals with complex medical/surgical conditions, as well as the acute physical therapy management of those conditions.  We will highlight issues related to discharge planning, the psychosocial impact of acute illness and hospitalization, and the interpretation of odds ratios. Students will have many opportunities to apply the content in labs, class discussions, and simulations.
