Clinical Education III is the third in a series of four full-time clinical experiences. It is a 10-week rotation and is a required course for all DPT students. There is a 12-week option which is preferred for some pediatric rotations. This course will provide students with the opportunity to apply their previously learned knowledge and skills to patient care, under the supervision and mentorship of a licensed physical therapist (Clinical Instructor). Over the course of their four clinical education experiences, students will be exposed to inpatient and outpatient practice settings. Culminating experiences will be chosen based upon the unique needs and professional goals of students, and the availability of clinic sites. As students’ progress through the Clinical Education course series, it is expected that they will evolve professionally, as demonstrated by their clinical performance. It is expected that students will have the opportunity to practice relevant administrative and screening skills during this clinical education experience (CE III).
