This structured eight-week clinical experience allows students to gain experience working with patients in the clinical setting. Learning experiences occur under the guidance of a Clinical Faculty (CF). Special emphasis is placed on foundational skills of patient management in preparation for future clinical internships. Objectives for this clinical experience include gaining experience in areas of customer service and the Four-Habits Model, primary medical screening, the medical interview, upper/lower quarter screens, and central/peripheral nervous system screens. Students gain confidence with all aspects of the patient encounter and begin to form primary and competing hypotheses or physical therapy diagnoses. Instruction relating to the measuring and interpreting of functional outcomes of patients is also provided. By the conclusion of this clinical experience, the student is expected to demonstrate advanced beginner or intermediate performance levels on the Physical Therapist Clinical Performance Instrument (PT CPI) as evaluated by the CF. Student performance will also be assessed using clinical education evaluation tools and functional patient outcomes.
