The clinical education component of the DPT curriculum is an extensive and integral part of the professional DPT program. Therefore, a detailed description of all policies and procedures related to clinical education are outlined in the Lincoln Memorial University Doctor of Physical Therapy Clinical Education Handbook for Students. Students are professional trainees and representatives of LMU and are therefore expected to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the standards of the profession, the DPT program, and the University. Questions or concerns regarding clinical education should be addressed to the Director of Clinical Education (DCE).
