PT 463C Therapeutic Interactions III

The two previous courses set the foundation for self-awareness and communication skills, both personal and professional. This third in the series, utilizes this knowledge in the larger context of family and community. This course addresses issues that are not specifically PT issues but have a strong, direct impact on Physical Therapy treatment. This course also expands the awareness of the role of the Physical Therapist outside the clinical setting as an integral part of the community, and introduces other psychological considerations for the health care provider.

According to the Commission on Accreditation for Physical Therapy Education, students who graduate from an accredited program should be able to display outcome behaviors that demonstrate the “attainment of knowledge, skills, values and attitudes” of an entry level PT.
