PT 211 PTA Clinical Practicum III

This course is a supervised learning experience in a selected physical therapy setting in which previously taught information is integrated under the supervision of a clinical physical therapist or physical therapist assistant. This course builds on the skills learned and exercised in PT 210 . This course focuses on the collection and interpretation of clinical data and includes exposure to various testing devices and treatments for balance, coordination, and strength. Students are expected to adjust patient treatment plans based on the test results and to communicate these to the Clinical Instructor for the purpose of modifying the treatment plan. The student will also provide daily patient and caregiver education as related to treatment as well as provide an in-service to the therapy staff on a topic that is agreed upon by the student and the Clinical Instructor. Through reflective journaling, the student will be challenged to identify how his/her personal value system/worldview facilitates conduct that reflects practice standards that are legal, ethical and safe and delivery of care in a compassionate and altruistic manner in the clinical environment. 6 hrs
