Spring

8901 Clinical Decision Making I

Decision making frameworks; documenting the clinical process; common, uncomplicated cases of patient/client management in four practice patterns: musculoskeletal,

neuromuscular, cardiopulmonary, and integumentary. Basic examination techniques, evaluation screens, common diagnoses, predictable prognoses, typical interventions, and routine functional outcome measures. Illustrate the interrelationship of systems and consequences of pathology for posture and movement dysfunction. Emphasis on safety and body mechanics and monitoring physiological status.

8902 Functional Anatomy

Study of kinetics, kinematic variables, and mechanical properties of tissue; motion analysis: posture, gait and functional activities; environmental considerations and constraints; and life span applications.

8925 Applied Neuroscience for Physical Therapists

Introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the human central and peripheral nervous systems. Interaction and relationships between the various structures are described in order to understand movement, sensation and higher cortical functions. Structure is related to function through clinical case examples with an emphasis on the importance for physical therapy assessment and intervention.

8903 Language, Culture, and Health

YEAR TWO Summer

Clinical Education I

Initial clinical experience in evaluating and treating basic cases of illness/injury

prevention, posture and movement dysfunction, and interprofessional practice. Six week full-time experience under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist.

8923 Community Applications

Community based projects that encompass the aspects of Advocacy, Collaboration, Social Responsibility, Consultation & Leadership, Marketing/PR and Fiscal

Management. Fall

8905 Clinical Decision Making II

Advanced decision making frameworks; documentation issues; both routine and less common cases of patient/client management in four practice patterns: musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, cardiopulmonary, and integumentary. Advanced examination

techniques, special tests, co-morbidity in diagnostic categories, complicated clinical courses and prognoses, complex interventions and case management, and determination of appropriate functional outcome measures. Diagnostic and setting-specific demands on posture, gait, and movement dysfunction. Emphasis on safety and supervision of

personnel, individualized and culturally-sensitive approaches to PT intervention, and program design.

8906 Critical Inquiry I

Introduction to physical therapy literature and resources for scholarly activity.

Discussion and application of literature search methods and pertinent clinical decision making topics. Emphasis on written communication methods: scientific writing, documentation, literature reviews, and patient education materials. Review of PT research; quantitative and qualitative methods; measurement issues; and outcomes research.

8927 Critical Inquiry I: Planning

Development of research design for case reports and research proposals. Evidence-based emphasis on literature review, definition of research questions, and critical analysis of the research question and selected methodological elements. Introduction to internal and external funding sources.

8907 Special Topic: Pediatrics

(4)

8908 Legal and Ethical Issues

Foundational knowledge and skills necessary for legal and ethical practice of physical therapy. Emphasis on legal principles and concepts; contract, business, and educational law; ethical theory and ethical decision making approaches; and professional code of ethics.

8928 Healthcare Delivery

Global study of the delivery of healthcare in a broad-spectrum view. Emphasis is on the societal, economic, legal/ethical and cultural factors that influence healthcare.

Multidisciplinary aspects are considered. Spring

8909 Clinical Decision Making III

Evaluation of decision making frameworks; reimbursement issues; complex, complicated patient/client management in four practice patterns: musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, cardiopulmonary, and integumentary. Efficient and effective examination, evaluation, and intervention strategies, case management across the continuum of care, and

assessment of functional outcome measures. Differential diagnosis, diverse/specialized practice settings, and special populations. Emphasis on professional development, interprofessional activities, and program evaluation.

8929 Clinical Decision Making III: Advanced Cases

In depth analysis of patient/client cases which includes pharmacology influences and diversity aspects. Differential diagnosis skills will be further developed in respect to each case. Evidence-based practice will be emphasized.

8910 Critical Inquiry II

Analysis of physical therapy literature and questions facing the profession based on historical and state-of-the-art theories and methods. Synthesis of literature on selected physical therapy topics. Emphasis on case report methods for depicting clinical practice. Introduction to research proposals, funding opportunities, and collaborative research endeavors.

8911 Special Topic: Geriatrics

Examination, evaluation, diagnoses, prognoses, and interventions related to the geriatric population. Emphasis on pharmacological, systems changes, and psychosocial aspects of health and wellness; chronic illness; and death and dying.

8913 Management and Leadership in PT

Theories of resource planning, management strategies for utilizing resources (human, information, fiscal, and space/equipment) for health care delivery, and clinical

YEAR THREE Summer

8914 Clinical Education II

Second clinical experience in evaluating and treating a diverse case load of illness/injury prevention, posture and movement dysfunction, and specialty practice. Includes

supervision of support personnel, interprofessional evaluation and treatment, and administrative tasks. Six week full-time experience under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist.

8931 Physical Therapy Specialty Applications

Specialty focused course with faculty and clinical experts integrating didactic and client experiences. Students choose area of specialty

Fall

8915 Clinical Decision Making IV

Topics that integrate practice pattern areas of musculoskeletal, neuromuscular,

cardiopulmonary, and integumentary, such as multiple trauma, burns, amputations, and critical care. Also complex cases within any practice area that have implications for other practice patterns by virtue of severity, chronicity, or co-morbidity. Emphasis on functional outcome measures.

8930 Clinical Decision Making IV: Advanced Cases

In depth analysis of patient/client cases which includes pharmacology influences and diversity aspects. Differential diagnosis skills with be further developed in respect to each case. Evidence-based practice will be emphasized.

8916 Critical Inquiry III

Peer review of formally-presented case reports. Each student will then revise the report and design a clinically-related project based on the findings of the case report. The proposed projects will be presented to an interprofessional audience of faculty and area clinicians for assessment and feedback. Emphasis will be given to formal research proposals, clinical applications, and resources for project implementation.
