PT 881 Clinical Ed Practicum I
This is the first of four full-time clinical experiences (Practicums PT 881, PT 882, PT 883 and Internship PT 884). Each experience will be in a different practice setting in locations available throughout the U.S. The clinical experiences will be structured to give each student a variety of learning opportunities providing exposure to comprehensive care of patients/clients across the life span and exposure to a wide variety of diagnoses. During this six-week practicum, students will practice foundational elements in the clinical setting, under the supervision of a clinical instructor. Foundational elements include safety and risk management, professional behavior, adherence to legal and professional practice standards, communication, and clinical reasoning skills.
