PTH 507 - Intro to Clinical Medicine

Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Physical Therapy

Description:

Physical therapists provide services to patients/clients with impairments, functional limitations, and disabilities related to a variety of pathological conditions affecting the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, neuromuscular, and integumentary systems. As autonomous practitioners, physical therapists must have a strong foundation in the fundamental aspects of causation and processes of human disease and injury. The intent of this course is to provide students with the foundational science content related to human disease and injury. This course will provide the necessary introductory content in preparation for the in-depth coverage of system-specific pathology content occurring later in the curriculum.
