PT 760 - Clinical Education Experience 2

(4 credits)

This course is the second clinical education experience that the student will have in the curriculum. This full-time experience under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist occurs in the first half of the fall semester of the third year of the professional curriculum. Students will be assigned to facilities that can provide an experience in acute care, rehabilitation or long term care, or orthopedics. Consideration is also given to the type of experience that the student had in PHTH 520. Students will also have the opportunity to be assigned to a facility that specializes in a particular type of patient population. The student will continue to emphasize competency in all areas already covered in the curriculum. Fall.
