    PT 713 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION III   6.0 Credit(s)
    This tutorial-based course focuses on the structure and function of the normal and impaired cardiovascular, pulmonary, and integumentary systems. Patient cases include problems of the cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, pulmonary, and integumentary systems, neuromuscular, as well as those of patients with complex, multisystem disorders such as amputation, spinal cord injury, cancer, and frailty. The interactive effects of normal, pathological, developmental, or age-related and environmental influences on the ability to perform activities of daily living and in response to exercise are considered. The implications of pharmacologic use and interactions on the relevant systems and on exercise tolerance are emphasized. This course will also include several days of structured clinical exposure for each student over the semester that will be tied to semester coursework and will serve as a mechanism for understanding clinical relevance to practice and patient care.
    Offered: Fall Semester All Years

    PT 723 EXAMINATION & DOCUMENT. III   4.0 Credit(s)
    Using the multisystem cases from tutorial, students will examine clinical tests and measurements to assess ventilation, respiration, circulation, aerobic capacity, and endurance. This includes patients with problems of the cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, pulmonary, and integumentary systems, as well as special tests and measurements that might apply to patients with multi-system disorders. Students will develop an understanding of how patient data and documentation systems are used to direct patient care, support inter-professional communication, and provide a rationale for the patient's plan of care. Students will establish differential diagnoses as well as determine the implications of findings and the need for referral to other health care practitioners. A series of structured clinical exposures serve as a mechanism for understanding clinical relevance to practice and patient care.
    Offered: Fall Semester All Years

    PT 733 EVALUATION&INTERVENTION III   4.0 Credit(s)
    Using the multisystem cases from tutorial, this course will look at clinical decision-making for the complex patient. Students will use the results of the clinical examination in order to determine physical therapy diagnosis, prognosis, goals, priorities, and appropriate therapeutic interventions for patients with disorders affecting the cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, pulmonary, integumentary, and neurologic systems, patients with oncologic disorders and for patients with multi-system involvement. The intervention options, rationales, and implications for choices in these more complex patients will be considered. The impact of lifespan issues, family/cultural/societal support systems and expectations, and healthcare resource limitations will also be considered in the context of how these will affect evaluation, prognosis, and intervention for a patient. Patient advocacy issues relative to obtaining equipment and support services will be included. Also included in this semester and tied to components of each course are a series of structured clinical exposures for each student per semester that will serve as a mechanism for understanding clinical relevance to practice and patient care.
    Offered: Fall Semester All Years

    PT 741 PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE II   1.0 Credit(s)
    This course will explore the roles and responsibilities of the physical therapist as a professional, who functions as a practitioner that adheres to professional and ethical standards as outlined by several sources including the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). The course explores the role of the physical therapist as a collaborator with members of the diverse healthcare team, including as a referral source to other healthcare professionals. Professional development of physical therapists will be facilitated through exploration of the APTA Core Values and Code of Ethics, and other ethical principles with application to a variety of situations in physical therapy practice. The course prepares students to be educators through effective communication with patients, families, and members of the healthcare team. Career development activities are started with this course and continued in Semester 5.

The content of this course will build on the knowledge of the musculoskeletal, neurological, pulmonary, cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, and integumentary systems presented in the previous three semesters. The patient problems in this course will be inherently more complex and involve integration across multiple systems at the level of the whole person. The effect of such factors as normal development (growth and aging), environmental influences, pharmacological interventions, and psychosocial issues on the level of stress on and adaptation by tissues will also be studied.
