PTH 7642 - Clinical Decision Making II

1 Hour(s)

This course integrates professional practice, patient/client management, and practice management expectations using a case-based format, organized in a manner consistent with the Guide to Physical Therapist Practice, ICF and HOAC models of clinical reasoning. This course will emphasize critical inquiry and reflective practice. In Clinical Decision Making II, the patient/client model is further advanced through 1) analysis and application of special tests beyond foundational examination tools, 2) the use of patient cases that involve multiple and concurrent problems (i.e. diagnoses, contextual issues, challenging behaviors, etc) 3) integration of pertinent tests and measures from disciplines other than physical therapy, 4) identification, analysis, and application of indicators for referral to other practitioners, 5) critical analysis of outcome measures, and 6) self-assessment of reasoning process.
