DPT 6700 CLINICAL PRACTICUM I
In general or specialized clinical settings, students are able to practice appropriate examination, evaluation, intervention, technical, and communicative skills. Students experience their first full-time clinical practice situation for a duration of twelve weeks. Safe, ethical, and legal physical therapy practice occurs under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist. Rotations for DPT 6700 are most commonly outpatient orthopedic treatment settings, but may include any setting for musculoskeletal dysfunction, to emphasize application and reinforcement of musculoskeletal and basic care skills learned within the first year. The primary outcome of this first clinical internship is to demonstrate competence in the management of patient care in musculoskeletal settings.
