Download or read book The Influence of Clinical Education Experiences on Career Decisions Among Physical Therapy Students written by Megan Huntoon and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Most students in health care professions enter college with a firm idea of their intended job setting. The career students end up choosing, is not always what they intended on entry. While there have been studies conducted to identify factors influencing career decision among medical and nursing students, there has been insufficient research examining influences of career decisions among physical therapy students. This study plans to identify the factors that influence physical therapy students to change their career choice. The purpose of this study is to better understand how clinical education affects the choice of first job setting among physical therapy students. SUBJECTS: The target population for this study was physical therapy students. The accessible population was 27 graduates from the 2006 Springfield College Master of Science in physical therapy program. Twenty four subjects responded to the survey (89%) and were used in this study. METHODS: A survey was developed containing forced-choice, 5-point likert scale, ranking, and 2 open- ended questions. Subjects were mailed the survey in the summer of2006 and asked to complete and return the survey in 4 weeks to the enclosed address. ANALYSES: Quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted using descriptive statistics and coding respectively. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS version 14.0* to obtain descriptive statistics and frequencies. Open-ended questions were analyzed using content analysis and coding techniques to determine common themes among subjects. RESULTS: Geographic location and opportunity of employment were ranked as having the most influence in a students' first job choice. Positive clinical education experiences were also determined to have a moderate influence overall when choosing a first job. A positive clinical experience was most influenced by the clinical instructor and the clinical setting. The central category that emerged among all subjects was employment opportunities, which correlates with the results from the quantitative analysis. CONCLUSION: This study concludes that clinical education, while not among the top three factors in choosing first job choice, plays a moderate role in deciding on a first job. A positive clinical experience is more influential than a negative experience in choosing a first job. Based on this study, the mixed method analysis both determined geographic location and opportunity of employment to have the most influence on students' first job choice. However, caution may need to be used when generalizing the results of this study due to a small sample size.

This book was released on 2014-05-28 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark publication published by the AAMC identifies a list of integrated activities to be expected of all M.D. graduates making the transition from medical school to residency. This guide delineates 13 Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) that all entering residents should be expected to perform on day 1 of residency without direct supervision regardless of specialty choice.The Core EPAs for Entering Residency are designed to be a subset of all of the graduation requirements of a medical school. Individual schools may have additional mission-specific graduation requirements, and specialties may have specific EPAs that would be required after the student has made the specialty decision but before residency matriculation. The Core EPAs may also be foundational to an EPA for any practicing physician or for specialty-specific EPAs.Update: In August 2014, the AAMC selected ten institutions to join a five-year pilot to test the implementation of the Core Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) for Entering Residency. More than 70 institutions, representing over half of the medical schools accredited by the U.S. Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), applied to join the pilot, demonstrating the significant energy and enthusiasm towards closing the gap between expectations and performance for residents on day one. The cohort reflects the breadth and diversity of the applicant pool, and the institutions selected are intended to complement each other through the unique qualities and skills that each team and institution brings to the pilot.Faculty and Learners' Guide (69 pages) - Developing faculty: The EPA descriptions, the expected behaviors, and the vignettes are expected to serve as the foundation for faculty development. Faculty can use this guide as a reference for both feedback and assessment in pre-clinical and clinical settings.- Developing learners: Learners can also use this document to understand the core of what is expected of them by the time they graduate. The EPA descriptions themselves delineate the expectations, while the developmental progression laid out from pre-entrustable to entrustable behaviors can serve as the roadmap for achieving them.

Download or read book Clinical instructors perceptions of DPT Student behaviors during clinical education experiences written by Andrew Fila and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A minimum of 30 weeks of full time clinical education experiences are required in Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs. Clinical education is of high value in shaping a student to become a competent entry level physical therapist. Both clinical instructor (CI) and students play a valuable role determining the outcome of the clinical experience. Prior research has explored CI behaviors that contribute to clinical education experiences. However, recent studies of the DPT student behavior that contribute to clinical education experiences are limited. The purpose of this study was to identify clinical instructors’ perceptions of the DPT students’ behaviors that impact clinical education experiences. PARTICIPANTS: 22 CIs in West Michigan. Inclusion criteria: a licensed PT in the United States, having served as a CI for at least 2 students, having served as a CI for at least one DPT student in the past 3 years. METHODS: This study used a qualitative framework with focus groups and a one-on-one interview. Standard questions were asked to facilitate discussion among the participants, with prompts and follow-up questions for clarification. Each focus group interview was digitally-recorded and transcribed verbatim. RESULTS: Data were analyzed using the constant-comparative method. Seven themes were found: Commitment to learning, communication/interpersonal skills, professionalism/responsibility, critical thinking/problem solving, constructive feedback, effective use of time and resources, and stress management. Each of these themes had both positive and negative behaviors. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Data revealed that Cis perceive that a range of positive and negative DPT student behaviors impact a clinical education experience. Three predominate themes emerged: Commitment to learning, communication/interpersonal skills, and professionalism/responsibility. These themes are consistent with findings of previous studies of student behaviors. These findings may assist academic and clinical educators to prepared DPT students for clinical education experiences.

Download or read book Construct Validity and Internal Consistency of the Physical Therapist Student Evaluation of Clinical Experience and Clinical Instruction written by Sean Patrick Gallivan and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare student education program curricula include learning experiences in the classroom and in the clinic. As program improvement efforts and accreditation bodies compel programs to assess classroom instructor effectiveness, they also call for the assessment of in-the-clinic instructor effectiveness. The most widely-distributed tool used by the physical therapy profession to assess clinical instructor effectiveness, the American Physical Therapy Association Physical Therapist Student Evaluation of Clinical Experience and Clinical Instruction (PTSE), has been used since 2003 without an assessment of its construct validity and with only one study of its reliability conducted on a narrow sample of students from one physical therapist education program. The physical therapy profession is without a valid and reliable instrument to assess clinical instructor effectiveness. The purpose of this research was to assess the construct validity and reliability of the PTSE. A non-probability convenience sample of 5,128 students from 29 physical therapist education programs from eight of nine geographic regions in the United States completed 6,916 PTSEs in 2017 using a particular third-party clinical education database management system.This sample yielded three subsets of data. The first subset, "Paired Midterm", n = 1788, consisted of PTSEs completed by students at the midpoint of a clinical education experience. The second subset, "Paired Final", n = 1788, consisted of PTSEs completed at the endpoint of these same clinical education experiences by these same students. The third subset, "Only Final", n = 3340 consisted of PTSEs completed by students who only completed a PTSE at the endpoint of the clinical education experience. To assess the construct validity of the PTSE, the researcher conducted exploratory factor analysis with principle axis factor extraction and promax oblique rotation on each of the three PTSE data subsets. For each PTSE subset, factor analysis identified one factor of 17 items, named Clinical Instructor Effectiveness. These factor analyses did not identify a factor solution that included all 21 items of Section Two, Question 22, of the PTSE. To assess the (internal consistency) reliability of the PTSE, the researcher conducted Cronbach's Alpha analyses on each data subset and on each factor identified in the factor analyses. Resultant Cronbach's alpha values met minimum levels of acceptable internal consistency while exceeding the 0.90 level that raises the concern of item redundancy. Factor analyses and Cronbach's alpha analyses of three subsets of PTSEs completed by students from a non-probability convenience sample of physical therapist education programs in the United States did not establish the American Physical Therapy Association's Physical Therapist Student Assessment of Clinical Experience and Clinical Instruction as a valid instrument while identifying its reliability as suggestive of a redundancy of items.

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.

Book excerpt: In the second edition of this reference, students will learn the critical skill of clinical decision-making by reading about real-life case scenarios along with a description of the course of action to follow and direct insight into the process. With brand new cases covering both typical and rare issues, the readers can learn from the successes and mistakes of their colleagues. The content is presented in a format following the elements of patient/client management from Guide to Physical Therapist Practice, 2nd Edition (]2001, APTA), the standard for physical therapy practice. Each example includes learning objectives, guiding questions, discussion, and references and corresponds to one or more of the four preferred practice patterns (Musculoskeletal, Neuromuscular, Cardiovascular/Pulmonary, and Integumentary) as outlined by the Guide. The variety in type of cases offered makes this resource appropriate for use with students over the span of a course as well as for clinicians wishing to work through more challenging patient scenarios. Content utilizing current terminology reflects trends in current practice and familiarizes readers with the structure of the Guide to Physical Therpist Practice, 2nd Edition. The real-life examples expose students to a range of both unusual and familiar clinical experiences they might not face in their studies, as well as enabling current clinicians to learn from their colleagues' experiences. Input from both a clinician and a professor provides a nice blend of clinical experience and educational insight. All cases are new, 46 in all, compiled from real-life scenarios experienced by physical therapy practitioners. Content includes more detailed information in areas such as patients, personal histories, culture, environment, and lifestyle. New topics encompass a broad range of issues, including documentation, women's health, clinical education, ethics, and assistive technology. Evidence-based examples and additional references meet the curriculum standards for physical therapy education. Pedagogical features, such as learning objectives, guiding questions, photos and illustrations, make the reference useful in the educational setting. In response to the guidelines featured in the Guide, cases are now formatted to follow elements of patient/client management, including physical therapy diagnoses stated as preferred practice patterns.
