This course is a continuation of aspects of patient/client management related to intervention in the context of the specific patient cases.

4.00 Credits
This first of two full-time clinical experiences in the curriculum is eight weeks in length and occurs after one year of academic coursework. This clinical experience is the student's first formal full-time exposure to the practice of physical therapy. The school respects that not all patient types can be available to each student during a clinical experience, but a varied caseload is encouraged. Close supervision and additional clinical teaching may be required in all areas of clinical practice. Emphasis is placed on developing good interpersonal skills with supervisors, patients, and other health care practitioners. The experience also focuses on oral and written communication skills, performing physical therapy examinations, evaluation, intervention planning and implementation on cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, medical/surgical and orthopedic patients, and providing basic functional training. The student should begin to appreciate the role of the physical therapist in the interdisciplinary team and the responsibilities involved in carrying a patient caseload. By the final two weeks of the clinical experience, the student should be managing approximately two-thirds of a caseload that is setting appropriate.

9.00 Credits
The course includes the traditional biological science of gross human anatomy, the physical science of biomechanics and applied anatomy, and components of patient management related to examination, evaluation, and intervention. The study of the basic structure and function of the human body will be accomplished through lecture, demonstration and dissection. Gross anatomy will emphasize the extremities and trunk, although the whole body will be examined. Also included is a review of embryology. The laboratory sessions are devoted primarily to handling the bony skeleton and supervised dissection. Biomechanics and applied anatomy and the clinical content will highlight the function of the spine using a patient case for reference.

2.00 Credits
This course includes traditional biological sciences of microscopic anatomy, physiology of exercise, and neuroscience. In addition, there will be a survey of various medical and surgical conditions and their underlying pathological processes. A course in imaging techniques (MRI, X-ray, etc) also will be included.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is the capstone experience of the curriculum. It builds upon the basic understanding of physical therapy practice acquired during the didactic and clinical educational experiences. The course serves to integrate content and focus on professional behavior, the physical therapy science related to examination, evaluation, and intervention, and gaps in knowledge. In addition to guest lectures and group discussion related to these topics, students will present a case report, or their research findings.
-
6.00 Credits
This course continues to cover basic aspects of patient/client management related to examination and evaluation in the context of the specific patient cases.
