In this 6-week course, the physical therapist assistant (PTA) student integrates the didactic knowledge of prerequisite courses into a full-time clinical experience. The purpose of this experience is to apply, integrate and perform learned clinical skills on patients under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist (PT) and/or physical therapist assistant (PTA). The emphasis of this experience is on integrating previously learned PTA skills, therapeutic modalities, advanced therapeutic techniques, and neurophysiological techniques into an established physical therapy program. Typical practice settings may include acute care hospitals, private practice, home health, sports centers, developmental centers, skilled nursing centers, geriatrics, pediatrics, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation centers and VA hospitals. Knowledge, skills and attitudes learned during the didactic courses and PTAS 235 will be applied to direct patient/client care for uncomplicated to complex patients with supervision that will vary with the complexity of the patient or the environment. The student will spend a minimum of 240 hours in the clinical setting. (Pass/Fail)
