2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Successful completion of previous courses in the DPT curriculum. This course is the final in a three part series regarding clinical inquiry. The outcome of the series is a project related to clinically-relevant research, education, or administration. Within this portion, students will complete their project/scholarly activity and prepare results for presentation. In addition, the realities of inquiry will be discussed to include: time demands, funding, and policy. A significant portion of the course is independent study, in which the students are preparing the final report of their specific project.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Successful completion of previous courses in the DPT curriculum This course will have two units. Unit one will focus on the neuropathology, examination, evaluation, physical therapy diagnosis, prognosis and intervention of spinal cord injured persons. Medical/pharmacological management of the spinal cord injured person will be discussed. Laboratory sessions will focus on clinical treatment skills and techniques. A home evaluation assignment will be required. Group assignments will emphasize current literature. Unit two will focus on the pathology, examination, evaluation, physical therapy diagnosis, prognosis and intervention of patients with upper and lower limb amputations. Functional mobility training of patients with an amputation both with and without a prosthesis will be emphasized. A review of lower extremity biomechanics and gait training will also be part of this course. (A laboratory fee of $25 will be assessed.)
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHT 6553C This course is an in-depth study in the recognition, examination, and intervention of disorders and injuries of the musculoskeletal system, with emphasis on the lower extremity. Using a problem-solving approach, students will learn to apply evidence-based practice and functional models, including the following elements of patient/client management: examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, and intervention. Sessions focus on advanced examination and intervention skills, including the performance of joint-specific special tests, manual therapy techniques, orthotics, and impairment-specific therapeutic exercises. Additionally, clinical reasoning skills will be emphasized throughout the course.
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Successful completion of previous courses in the DPT curriculum Clinical Education IV 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. Experiences in these settings will provide the student with an opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the curriculum to any patient referred to physical therapy. 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. (A laboratory fee of $30 will be assessed.)

5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Successful completion of previous courses in the DPT curriculum Clinical Internship V is a clinical education patient experience prior to graduation. This experience provides students with the opportunity to meet entry level requirements to practice as a physical therapist. Students continue to practice examination, evaluation, intervention, documentation, consultation and administrative skills under the supervision and guidance of a licensed physical therapist, but are expected to function at the level of a new graduate by the completion of this experience. 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. Through reflective journal writing students will further develop their self-assessment skills as they begin to transition from the role of student to that of an entry-level doctorally prepared physical therapist. 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.)
-
1.00 - 5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Successful completion of previous courses in the DPT curriculum Students, with instructor consent, may explore topics of interest within physical therapy specialty areas. Particular attention is given to topics related to applications in teaching, consultation, research, practice, and administration.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to classical physics involving a study of motion, fundamental forces, conservation laws of energy and momentum, light waves, electricity and magnetism. Some of the history of physics will be included in addition to brief biographies of a select group of leading classical physicists. An exposure to the philosophy of science and the scientific method forms an essential component of this course. The course is intended for students who have had no previous physics course, including high school physics. (This course cannot be used by natural sciences majors to satisfy degree requirements.)
-
1.00 Credits
Co-requisite: PHY 1020 This course is the laboratory that explores the topics covered in the PHY 1020 Introduction to Physics lecture course. The experiments will involve laboratory exercises dealing with kinematics of free fall and projectile motion, forces and motion, laws of conservation of energy and momentum, optical laws of reflection and refraction, the behavior of lenses, basic electric circuits, electromagnetic forces, standing waves, and heat phenomena. (A laboratory fee of $25 will be assessed.)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MAC 2311 and high school physics with a minimum grade of B or PHY 1020C. Corequisite: MAC 2312. An introduction to the fundamental laws and theories of physics with an emphasis on mechanics, heat and wave motion. Four hours lecture.
-
1.00 Credits
Corequisite: PHY 2048. Laboratory exercises to accompany PHY 2048. Three hours laboratory. (A laboratory fee of $25 will be assessed.)
