PTH 660 - SOLE I

This course focuses on contributions individuals make beyond their professional role. It will enable students to begin to internalize their role as a service-oriented citizen and healthcare professional. Students will explore the physical therapist’s role as a servant leader by actively engaging the APTA Core Values of altruism, compassion/caring, and social responsibility while providing culturally competent services. Beginning with a broad view of cultural competency and servant leadership, students will then narrow the scope to specifically discuss Issues related to either the social-political issues in a foreign country; or local societal Issues affecting the people of our region specific to the student’s chosen servant leadership project. Students will then collaborate with an agency In order to develop a proposal for a service learning project locally, regionally, or internationally that will take place later in the curriculum. Outcomes will be achieved through independent study and reading, group discussion, peer presentations, and self-reflection.
