PTA 260 — Advanced PTA Clinical Education
This terminal full time clinical education experience (40 hours per week for 8 weeks) offers students the opportunity to gain exposure to a variety of medical and physical therapy diagnoses, develop entry-level patient care skills under the supervision of a clinical instructor (physical therapist assistant and/or physical therapist), and become an active participant in the health care team. Students will be placed in inpatient and outpatient physical therapy settings. Writing assignments, as appropriate to the discipline, are part of this course.
