PTR 520 - Professional Issues I


This is the first in a series of three courses designed to provide physical therapy students with a comprehensive and current foundation in the issues pertinent to the physical therapy profession. The course will explore the history of the profession, the scope of practice (legal and ethical), and education in the profession. It will introduce the students to professional behavior, including communication and feedback techniques, and the assessment of professional behavior. Students will also gain an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of the profession from such documents as the Guide to Physical Therapist Practice and Core Values of the Profession.
