PTH 859 - Complex Case Management I

This course is the first in a series of two problem based capstone courses for physical therapy management of patient cases. Using a Problem-Based learning format, special emphasis will be placed on screening for differential diagnosis, management of comorbidities, and integration of other diagnostic information. Students will work in groups with a faculty mentor to develop an evidenced based management plan based on their interpretation of screening and examination. They will synthesize the information and develop a management plan, which includes all aspects of patient care. Additionally, students must integrate and demonstrate cognitive and psychomotor skills by passing a comprehensive lab examination. Students also present and discuss a case study from the first of their two terminal clinical education experiences.
