PT 853 Clinical Experience III
Clinical Education III consists of a ten (10) week full-time supervised clinical education experience that is designed to provide students with the opportunity to build upon knowledge, skills, and behaviors learned in the classroom and in previous clinical experiences. The focus is on developing mastery of skills in the processes of professional practice: patient-therapist interactions, performing comprehensive examinations and evaluations, developing and implementing interventions, establishing diagnosis and prognosis, performing documentation, and re-evaluating patient outcomes. Students are assigned to a clinical site providing structured clinical education experiences in patient care areas different from those encountered during the previous 8-week and 10-week clinical experiences. At this point in the curriculum, students have completed all academic coursework and two full-time clinical experiences in two practice environments and are ready to be challenged by clinical education in a range of practice settings with increased complexity of care.
