Description
This course emphasizes an interprofessional approach to the physical therapy management of patients with medical and surgical conditions in acute and post-acute care settings. Students apply an evidence-based approach to physical therapy examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, intervention, and discharge planning within the acute and post-acute care settings. Effective communication with members of the interprofessional team in a variety of settings and application of clinical decision making to facilitate patient progress are emphasized and reinforced. Students demonstrate clinical reasoning strategies throughout the management process, including but not limited to hypothetico-deductive reasoning, pattern recognition, intuitive reasoning, narrative reasoning, and alternative forms of interactive reasoning.
