DPT-906: Clinical Problem Solving in Neuromuscular Rehab

Credits 1.0
Academic Level
DPT

This course will explore special topics in neuromuscular rehabilitation through a tutorial problem-based learning format and review/remediate skills from the second year to promote the development of clinical reasoning, clinical problem solving, collaborative skills, skills in self-assessment and independent learning. Students will present a patient case from their summer clinical internship (DPT 823) to allow the student learner further opportunity to critically think and problem solve as it relates to a patient with neurological pathology. Students will be required to apply knowledge from didactic and clinical courses in the first and second years to differentially diagnose patients presented in case studies. These cases will also highlight social/cultural/psychosocial issues, legal and ethical aspects of professional behavior, and integration of published literature into clinical practice.
