DPTH 804 Clinical Integration of Physical Therapy Principles IV

The Clinical Integration Course Series provides a systematic progression of the requisite physical therapy evaluative, assessment, intervention and monitoring skills needed to become a practicing clinician capable of effectively evaluating and treating persons across the lifespan and throughout the continuum of care. The courses utilize a case-based approach and require the learner to integrate prior coursework to demonstrate effective examination, evaluation and intervention skills for patients with varying degrees of complexity. The courses progress by assessment-based milestones to ensure learners are deemed competent with fundamental physical therapy skills prior to final year clinical experiences. The final course in the series is a comprehensive review and comprehensive practical exam designed to measure competency and enhance experiential learning to prepare learners for clinical experiences.
