DPT 6820 Physical Therapy Practice III
Lecture: 0 Lab: 0 Practica: 14 Total Credits: 14
This 11-week terminal clinical experience builds upon the knowledge and skills obtained during the first two clinical experiences (DPT 6530 and DPT 6720 ) to advance evidence-based patient management and clinical reasoning skills and exhibit characteristics of an adult learner and medical professional. Direct patient care experiences under the guidance of Clinical Faculty (CF) in a collaborative learning environment include patient and family education, case presentations, staff in-services, community outreach and all aspects of the patient management model appropriate to the setting. Structured learning experiences and frequent problem-based assignments are encouraged to complement focused lab time and learning opportunities in addition to patient care in the clinical setting. Students continue membership in the APTA and increase involvement at the state chapter and national level. By the conclusion of this internship experience, the student is expected to demonstrate entry-level performance 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.
Prerequisite(s): Successful completion of Quarter 7 courses
