DPT 6800 CLINICAL PRACTICUM II
In general or specialized clinical settings, students are able to practice appropriate examination, evaluation, intervention, technical and communicative skills. Students experience their second full-time clinical practice situation for duration of fifteen weeks. Safe, ethical, and legal physical therapy practice occurs under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist. Rotations for DPT 6800 are most commonly impatient and sub-acute treatment settings, but may include any setting for neurological, cardiopulmonary and multiple system dysfunctions, to emphasize application and reinforcement of patient care skills learned with the second year. The primary outcome of the second clinical internship is to near the clinical practice expectations of the entry level physical therapist. The student should be able to manage at least one half a caseload of less complex patients but will still require guidance in managing the more complex patients.
