PT 442 Integrative Seminar II
The Integrative Seminars are a
series of two courses designed to provide situated or contextual learning
experiences within the academic curriculum. The intention of this series
of seminars is to provide a forum within which to develop clinical reasoning
skills in preparation for practice in the clinical environment. Students
will be given advanced training in scientific and clinical literature to
facilitate development of a life-long professional habit of consultation with
relevant literature and application to clinical problems. The Integrative
Seminars promote application and integration of newly acquired knowledge
(propositional and non-propositional) with previously learned
knowledge/experience, within a clinical reasoning framework. Examples of
the types of knowledge/skills that will be integrated are basic sciences,
research and evidence-based practice principles, biomedical knowledge, and
clinical skills. The hierarchical design of the DPT curriculum will
provide the framework within which specific areas of content will be chosen as
the focus for each of the seminar courses. Students will progress through
exercises and activities of increasing complexity based upon when each of the
seminars falls within the DPT program curriculum. This second Integrative
Seminar is designed to increase the understanding of plasticity in several
systems as they occur in populations with and without neurological insults and
explore the relationship between rehabilitation and plasticity. This will include
a standardized patient simulation.
