PTAT 2134 — Clinical Practice III
This is the last of three clinical education courses in the PTA program. It offers the student the opportunity to apply learned skills and knowledge from all didactic coursework in a clinical setting, under the direct supervision of a licensed physical therapist. The student will build upon previous clinical experiences, working with more complex patients and a heavier caseload as appropriate. This course allows students to transition forward to becoming a practitioner, integrating knowledge with experience to become safe and effective entry-level physical therapist assistants. This is a full-time 6-week clinical experience (240 hours).
