Course Description:

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.

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.
