Description:

Prerequisite: Successful completion of previous courses in the DPT curriculum Clinical Internship III targets a variety of clinical experiences based upon facility placement and patient population. Student assignments are individualized and based on the students? areas of clinical interest, academic performance, and prior clinical education experiences and clinical performance. Students may be placed in inpatient hospital or rehabilitation settings, outpatient clinics, skilled nursing facilities, school or home care settings and/or other specialty practices. Patients with orthopedic, musculoskeletal, neurological, and/or cardiopulmonary diagnosis may be encountered. Experiences in these settings will provide the student with an opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills acquired thus far in the academic portion of the curriculum to any patient referred to physical therapy. The actual procedures and sequence of experiences will vary from student to student and will be determined by the nature of the patients available and the type of clinical setting. Under the direct supervision of a clinical instructor, the student will begin to advance their hands-on clinical skills and further develop their critical thinking abilities. Students will practice in accordance with the American Physical Therapy Association Code of Ethics and Guide to Physical Therapist Practice; the practice act of the state in which they are practicing; and according to the policies and procedures of the individual facility where they are assigned.(A laboratory fee of $30 will be assessed.)
