PT 787 Experiential Learning
1 credit
Experiential learning opportunities serve to integrate content and focuses on professional behavior, the physical therapy science related to examination, evaluation, and intervention, and gaps in current knowledge. The student will gain an understanding of the complexities of working within different community settings. Each student participates for 15 hours in a community wellness program for persons with disabilities and 15 hours in a pro bono physical therapy clinic. In the Dan Aaron Stay Fit Exercise Program for persons with Parkinson Disease or Multiple Sclerosis, the student is exposed to a community exercise program, cultural diversity, and generational learning. In the Arcadia University Pro Bono Clinic, each student provides direct physical therapy services, including patient education to uninsured or underinsured patients/clients, under the supervision of licensed physical therapists. This unique setting requires the student to understand the biopsychosocial aspects of working with patients, clients, families, and other health care professionals.
