Description
This course provides clinical observation, application and practice of physical therapy procedures under the direction
and supervision of the Clinical Instructor. Knowledge and skills learned in previous general education courses and PTA
program courses are applied in the clinical setting. Students hone skills practiced in the first year of the program, and
take a more active role in patient treatment, education and communication with members of the healthcare team in
the clinic and with their peers through discussion board assignments. Tools used in the clinical setting for quality
assurance are explored in a formal paper.
