408 Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences—Department of Physical Therapy are explored. Emphasis is placed on disease specific tests and measures, application of clinical reasoning during all steps of patient/client management and throughout the continuum of care (acute to chronic), the ability to apply evidence in practice, the design and execution of patient/client-related instruction, delegation to support personnel, and documentation of all aspects of care. Primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention for patients with neuromuscular conditions is addressed. (2 credits) PHTT 6850L—Neuromuscular Physical Therapy II Lab This course is the laboratory component of PHTT 6850 and utilizes a variety of case studies to develop advanced psychomotor and clinical reasoning skills in all aspects of neurologic patient/client management, including examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, development of a plan of care, procedural interventions, and outcome measurement. This course culminates in Neuro Boot Camp, a faculty-supervised, one-week laboratory experience with real clients who have complicated neuromuscular disorders. The following clinical skills are performed: a thorough examination, comprehensive plan of care and daily notes, procedural interventions, patient instruction, and communication with caregivers. (2 credits) PHTT 6860—Pediatric Physical Therapy This combined laboratory and lecture course introduces physical therapy management of the pediatric patient within the framework of the APTA Guide to Physical Therapist Practice, ICF, the hypothesis-oriented pediatric focused algorithm, movement systems model, and reflective practice. Course content incorporates the Academy of Pediatric Physical Therapy essential core competencies for entry-level pediatric physical therapy education. Topics include pediatric health conditions/diagnoses, interview/history, tests and measures, diagnosis and prognosis, plan of care, procedural interventions, child/family-related instruction, assistive technology, health and wellness, interprofessional collaborative practice, pediatric healthcare settings, and IDEA. Clinical decision-making skills are developed utilizing pediatric community experiences under the direction of a clinical supervisor. (4 credits) Summer PHTT 6905—Evidence in Physical Therapy Practice—Capstone I This two-part class is the last of a series of three courses in the evidence-based practice series. The focus of this course is on the integration of content from the entire curriculum, including clinical education, with the application of evidencebased practice to a clinical scenario from a clinical affiliation experience. The course provides an opportunity for students to develop a critically appraised topic with the goal of sharing with faculty and future colleagues in part II of this class. (1 credit) PHTT 6940—Wrap Up and Review I This course introduces the Federated State Boards of Physical Therapy organization and the jurisdiction process for applying for the National Physical Therapy Examination. Topics applicable to graduates, such as physical therapy residency programs and the Physical Therapy Compact for Licensure are discussed. This course includes an online, interactive preparation course for the National Physical Therapy Exam (NPTE). Recorded webinars, live review and Q&A sessions, a structured study timeline, access to digital study groups, practice exam simulations, and NPTE study-oriented course assignments are included. (1 credit) PHTT 6944—Clinical Experience I This is the first of three 10-week, full-time, supervised clinical experiences that occurs in the final year of the D.P.T. program, following completion of didactic courses. Opportunities to practice clinical decision-making based on evidence and the experience of clinical instructor(s) are provided. Entrylevel physical therapy skills required for patient/client management are developed by applying knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors in a clinical setting under supervision of a clinical instructor. This clinical experience focuses on utilizing the patient/client management model to perform patient examinations, evaluations, determining diagnoses, prognoses, and interventions within the context of the clinical setting. Progression to a minimum supervision level for patient management is expected with cases of increasing medical complexity across the lifespan and continuum of care.

Opportunities to practice clinical decision-making based on evidence and the experience of clinical instructor(s) are provided. Entry-level physical therapy skills required for patient/client management are developed by applying knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors in a clinical setting under supervision of a clinical instructor. This clinical experience focuses on utilizing the patient/client management model to perform patient examinations, evaluations, determining diagnoses, prognoses, and interventions within the context of the clinical setting. Progression to an independent level for patient management is expected with cases of increasing medical complexity across the lifespan and continuum of care. (4 credits)
