This book was released on 2011 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utica College (UC) initiated the Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree (DPT) in 2005 to replace a master's degree. This advancement in education was meant to train entry-level physical therapy students to be general primary care providers in a variety of medical settings. The Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE) and UC want to establish measures of competency for physical therapists. The purpose of this paper was to determine how well graduates from the entry-level UC DPT program were prepared for entry-level practice. We used a mixed methods study design of surveys and focus groups to determine if UC DPT graduates were prepared for entry-level practice. The surveys were sent to 47 graduates of the UC DPT program and 35 of their employers. We recruited four subjects in our employer focus group and two subjects in our graduate focus group. We received completed surveys from 28 graduates and 21 employers. Graduates rated their preparedness for entry-level practice in three domains: professional behaviors, application of knowledge, and clinical skills. These domains are valued by CAPTE and experienced physical therapy clinicians. A large majority of graduates agreed or strongly agreed that they were prepared for entry-level practice in these three areas. The majority of employers agreed or strongly agreed that their UC DPT graduates were prepared for entry-level practice. Focus group data anecdotally supported our survey findings because the low number of participants decreased its generalizability to all graduates and employers. Our study supports that the UC DPT program prepares graduates for entry-level practice in a variety of clinical settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The entry-level education required to practice as a clinical physical therapist is a Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) earned in three years. DPT is a promising career, but an issue was identified; a discrepancy between the cost of tuition to earn a DPT and the starting salary of physical therapists. This discovery led to development and implementation of hybrid two-year Doctor of Physical Therapy programs which suggested a lower cost of education. This study, a survey analysis, was designed to evaluate the differences between standard three-year and new hybrid two-year programs.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of evaluating quality of physical therapy has been of interest to educators and clinical practitioners alike. the way that quality is normally evaluated is controversial and usually the term itself is defined by the observers. Qualitative criteria as well as quantitative criteria has been examined by a variety of investigators. There is no consensus that existing criteria for evaluating programs are valid. Others have looked at quality of programs from an observation point of view. This study examines discrete criteria used to evaluate physical therapy program from a community of interest point of view with the concept that those closest to the educational programs have specific views about qualitative evaluation criteria. A survey was taken of a national sample of Deans of allied health, clinical faculty, academic faculty, and program directors in entry level physical therapy programs. the survey asked the groups to judge the criteria presented. There were criteria of which all groups were in consensus. There were other criteria which proved to be controversial. the general sense of the respondents were that physical therapy programs need to be mainstreamed with other programs in the institution. An unexpected result was the often concert of opinions of clinical faculty and academic faculty and the discord of program directors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: BACKROUND AND PURPOSE: Approximately $90 billion annually is spent on chronic pain due to reduced productivity and related medical expenses. Patients with chronic pain are often treated by physical therapists, yet there is no delineated practice pattern for this large population. A study done by Scudds, Scudds, and Simmonds5 in1996, demonstrated that pain management is not a major focus in the physical therapy classroom. The purpose of this study was to document current faculty perceptions of student competency in chronic pain assessment and management, the progression of the physical therapy curriculum since the study of Scudds, Scudds & Simmonds in 1996, and the content and curriculum hours devoted to chronic pain management education within entry-level physical therapy programs. SUBJECTS: The target population for this study consisted of the department chairs of 100 percent (194) accredited, entry-level physical therapy programs in the United States, as listed on the APTA web site, February 2004. METHODS: The pain curriculum survey developed by Scudds, Scudds, and Simmonds was streamlined in content and adapted to assess faculty attitudes and curriculum content specific to chronic pain. Information was gathered on knowledge and use of the IASP curriculum guide for physical and occupational therapy, chronic pain courses taught and approximate number of hours spent on chronic pain education, and the faculty perception of competency of recent graduates in the area of chronic pain assessment and management. ANALYSES: Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data obtained from the surveys, as well as an independent samples t-test comparing classroom hours spent on chronic pain education between masters and doctoral level programs. RESULTS: The chronic pain education survey yielded a 34percent (66/194) response rate. Four returned surveys were not completed and were omitted from the analysis. Thirty-two percent (62/194) surveys were used for statistical analysis. The majority of the survey respondents noted that there is an adequate amount of time spent on chronic pain topics including: biology of pain, pain measurement, management, and psychosocial issues. Faculty in entry-level physical therapy programs noted that students are adequately prepared to assess and treat patients with chronic pain. The mean amount of classroom hours spent on chronic pain education documented among respondents was 15 hours. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Survey design may have contributed to a low response rate as well as incomplete and inaccurately completed forms. Several faculty members stated their opinion that competency in chronic pain management was a skill beyond entry-level and others noted that pain management education was adequate for what is expected of their students upon graduation. Further research examining CAPTE requirements for the curriculum or physical therapy recent graduate's perception of competency in chronic pain management would be well warranted.
