PTH 710 - Complex Case Management

Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Physical Therapy

Description:

Complex Case Management allows students to integrate knowledge gained in previous courses to develop skills for creating a comprehensive plan of care for patients with multisystem pathologies. Such patients often present with challenging medical, social, and psychological issues, are classified using multiple Practice Patterns from the Guide to Physical Therapist Practice, and require an interprofessional approach to care. The course is designed as a series of clinical case presentations, through which students learn how multisystem impairments, including those affecting endocrine, metabolic, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary systems, impact clinical decision-making. Guest faculty representing a variety of perspectives (MSW, OT, PA, RN, Pharm) will help facilitate case discussions.
