PHYT - 7750 Preparation for Clinical Experiences in Physical Therapy I (2)

This course augments the foundational physical therapy didactic coursework and facilitates the student’s understanding and application skills acquired   in previous coursework. As students complete structured engagement activities, the student develops an understanding of the professional behaviors and expectations surrounding self-efficacy, clinical reasoning and skill level required for successful completion of the upcoming clinical experiences. Structured engagement activities include: simulated patient/client scenarios, clinical instructors and faculty mentors within the classroom setting. Instructional Method: Lecture-Discussion. Due to the restructoring of the PT clinical education curriculum (previously approved and implemented in Fall of 2022), this clinical education preparation course in addition to the second in a series (Preparation for clinical experiences in Physical Therapy II) became necesssary to maintain the credit hour requirements for the full curriculum.  To bring the current cohorts up to date, this course will need to be offered in Spring of 2022, and then once the cohorts are caught up, the proper sequence of this course will be the fall semester with the second course being offered in the spring semester prior to the students encountering their first clinical experience in the summer semester.  Restriction: This course is for students enrolled in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program Prerequisite: PHYT-6711 , PHYT-6712 , and PHYT-6720 .
