PT 737 Clinical Simulation Experiences


3 credits
This course provides students the opportunity to apply knowledge gained through the first three semesters of the program and to develop clinical reasoning skills and professional communication. Students will participate in multiple clinical simulation experiences allowing repeated opportunities to practice patient examination and evaluation, establishing a plan of care, making intervention decisions, and documenting patient care. The simulations provide opportunities for active learning, self-reflection and feedback through interaction with “real” and simulated patients and clinicians.  The principles guiding effective documentation and delegation of physical therapist practice to physical therapist assistants, aides and students will be discussed in the context of clinical scenarios that require self-reflection which will serve to facilitate the development of clinical-decision making skills.
