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.

Download or read book Clinical Reasoning and Decision Making in Physical Therapy written by Gina Musolino and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical reasoning is an essential non-negotiable element for all health professionals. The ability of the health professional to demonstrate professional competence, compassion, and accountability depend on a foundation of sound clinical reasoning. The clinical reasoning process needs to bring together knowledge, experience, and understanding of people, the environment, and organizations along with a strong moral compass in making sound decisions and taking necessary actions. While clinical reasoning and the role of mentors has been a focus of the continued growth and development of residency programs in physical therapy, there is a critical need to have a broader, in-depth look at how educators across academic and clinical settings intentionally facilitate the development of clinical reasoning skills across one’s career. Clinical Reasoning and Decision Making in Physical Therapy: Facilitation, Assessment, and Implementation fills this need by providing a comprehensive and in-depth focus on development of the patient-client management skills of clinical reasoning and clinical decision-making. It takes into account teaching and learning strategies, assessment, and technological applications across the continuum from novice to residents/fellows-in-training, along with academic and clinical faculty for both entry-level and specialist practice. Drs. Gina Maria Musolino and Gail Jensen have designed this comprehensive resource with contributions from professional colleagues. The text centers on life-long learning by encouraging the development of clinical reasoning abilities from professional education through residency education. The aim and scope of the text is directed for physical therapy education, to enhance clinical reasoning and clinical decision-making for developing professionals and post-professionals in both clinical and academic realms, and for the development of clinical and academic faculty. Clinical Reasoning and Decision Making in Physical Therapy uniquely offers both evidence-based approaches and pragmatic consultation from award-winning authors with direct practice experiences developing and implementing clinical reasoning/clinical decision-making in practice applications for teaching students, residents, patients, and clinical/academic faculty in classrooms, clinics, and through simulation and telehealth. Clinical Reasoning and Decision Making in Physical Therapy is the first of its kind to address this foundational element for practice that is key for real-world practice and continuing competence as a health care professional. Physical therapy and physical therapist assistant students, faculty, and clinicians will find this to be an invaluable resource to enhance their clinical reasoning and decision making abilities.
