NDPT 7711 - Integrated Clinical Experience I

The purpose of this integrated clinical experience is to provide the student with the opportunity to initiate practical application of professional behaviors, medical terminology and documentation skills from the initial professional year of class work. Students will have opportunity to apply knowledge of foundational science principles (kinesiology, medical and exercise physiology, and neuroscience) and general examination and intervention skills to patient care. Students will be introduced to and have opportunity to apply the five elements of patient client management (examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, plan of care and intervention). These skills will be performed under the direct supervision of a licensed physical therapist. Students will have the opportunity to incorporate physical therapy skills with various diverse patient groups. This 15 week assignment will occur in the Student led Therapy And Rehab (S.T.A.R.) clinic.
