PTA - 501 PTA Clinic II

(7 s.h.)

Prerequisite: PTA - 500 PTA Clinic I.
This course is an eight week, full-time clinical experience. Skills, knowledge, and attitudes learned in all completed PTA course work will be applied to direct patient care in selected clinical settings. This clinical experience will facilitate application/integration of all PTA course work. The student will consistently and efficiently provide quality care with uncomplicated to complex patients and with a low to moderate degree of supervision/guidance except when addressing new and highly complex situations. At the completion of this clinical, it is expected that the student will achieve a final rating that is at midpoint or above on all twenty performance criteria. This course has been designated as a pass/no pass course. As a student progresses through clinical education experiences, the degree of supervision/guidance needed is expected to progress from full-time monitoring to independent performance with consultation. The degree of supervision/guidance may vary with the complexity of the patient or environment.
