Courses
PT 743 GRAND ROUNDS 3.0 Credit(s)
In Grand Rounds, students work in small groups utilizing clinical case scenarios typical of patients with complex medical problems affecting multiple systems such as the cardiovascular, pulmonary, integumentary systems, musculoskeletal, neuromotor, and immune systems. Using the ICF model as the guide for clinical decision-making, students apply an evidence-based analysis of the literature related to a specific clinical examination, evaluation, and intervention and/or management strategy for their assigned case. The culminating products of the semester are critical analysis of the literature (CAT) on specific clinical questions (PICO) for use of best evidence in patient care. The final product will be a professional presentation of the case using the evidence-based findings from the literature. Prerequisite: Take PT-642
Offered: Fall Semester All Years
PT 845 PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE III 5.0 Credit(s)
This course is a university-designated Service-Learning course. It is the culmination of the Professional Practice sequence in the curriculum. The focus of this course is the development of knowledge, attitudes, and skills utilized by physical therapists in the professional role of consultant. This semester content will expand the single-patient practice model to a practice model working with communities and groups of individuals. Content focuses on the therapist's role in community education, health promotion / wellness, and consultation for selected segments of the population. This includes exploration of concepts in the assessment of population groups, assessment of their communities and available resources, health behavior analysis, health behavior theories and models, community engagement, program planning, program implementation, and program evaluation. Several assignments throughout the semester apply the above concepts and most specifically, a service-learning group project called the community-based Clinical Project. Content from PT 845 will often link with content from PT 825. Student learning experiences may take place in both the classroom and community-based venues. As students work within the community, they are expected to demonstrate sensitivity and consideration of population differences and their values toward health and wellness, including factors such as personal beliefs/attitudes toward health, socioeconomic issues, and cultural norms and trends.
