2 Course Description: This full time clinical affiliation takes place at the conclusion of all of the technique and procedure related courses for the PTA student. Student/learners will be investing 40 hours per week for 6 weeks in a physical therapy clinical setting within the local geographic area. Students will be expected to perform all activities in the clinic that would normally be delegated to a physical therapist assistant in that facility. Students will be expected to provide an In-Service presentation to colleagues at the clinical site. Course Outline: Week 1: Days 1 & 2 Orientation and integration to the clinical setting: The student/learner is expected to observe the physical therapy department and personnel utilization until the student/learner and the clinical instructor (CI) determine that the student/learner is sufficiently acclimated to this setting. The CI will be interacting with the student/learner and working with him or her to set up observations as needed. The student/learner needs to initiate interaction with patients, and seek out the components of departmental organization and documentation style. During this week the student/learner should gain an understanding of the role and responsibilities of all staff in the PT department. An introduction to who handles patient scheduling and how effectiveness is maximized via appropriate scheduling should also occur during the first week. Week 1: Day 3 through the end of Week 6 Integration into the clinical setting: The student is expected to perform all duties that would normally be expected of a PTA at entry level. The student is also expected to participate in departmental in-service presentations. The student is also required to present an in-service to the department. Course Goal: At a minimum, each student/learner will achieve the following goal by the end of the final clinical affiliation (Clinical Affiliation III): 1. By the end of the final clinical affiliation, the student/learner will handle a patient case load equivalent to that of an entry-level PTA in that particular setting, which includes both direct patient care and non-patient care responsibilities. What is entry-level? According to the APTA s Normative Model of PTA Education (Version 2007), entry level is a level of practice characterized by little or no experience as a credentialed, working PTA. Entry-level is also the initial point of entry into the health system working under the supervision and direction of a physical therapist, and characterized by successful completion of an accredited PTA program and the acquisition of the appropriate credential (i.e. license) to function as a PTA. Think about the clinical level in which you were practicing when you started your first job. It is probably very different from the level you are practicing today. Student/learners are expected to perform at entry-level upon completion of this clinical affiliation, not at the level of experienced clinician. ================================================================ Call if at any time the student/learner is considered unsafe with patients 2
3 Course Objectives: Following the successful completion of this course, the student/learner will possess skills in the following domains to: Cognitive/Knowledge 1. verbalize an understanding of the interventions provided by reporting why interventions are chosen, how they are properly performed, when it would be appropriate to use them and when it would be inappropriate to use them 2. outline potential patient progression sequences within a specified Plan of Care and be able to explain why progression is indicated 3. design a therapeutic exercise program to address the short and long term goals identified within the evaluation of a patient and consistent with the identified plan of care 4. describe physical therapy as a component of the rehabilitation of patients, recognizing other components which encompass the big picture 5. complete a case study as per instructions provided Psychomotor 1. ensure patient safety by utilizing universal precautions, proper body mechanics, proper guarding techniques, maintaining a safe environment, and utilizing proper intervention techniques 2. indicate when a patient should be re-evaluated by a physical therapist or when the patient should receive a progress note, and complete said progress note (or weekly summative note) 3. modify ROM and MMT techniques based on varying patient circumstances while utilizing sound foundational concepts 4. interpret the results of changes in the patient s objective measures and identify its impact on the treatment plan 5. perform physical therapy interventions in a competent and safe manner including therapeutic exercise, therapeutic activities, neuromuscular re-education, gait training, stair training, transfers, bed mobility, and modalities as appropriate for the clinical site 6. independently operate physical therapy equipment and modalities within the department 7. modify the performance of PT interventions to meet the varying needs of patients 8. recognize when an intervention should not be provided due to changes in the patient s status and report this back to the supervising CI or PT 9. review patient data prior to treatment interventions, demonstrating the ability to identify data which is pertinent and its importance for that patient 10. document all relevant information in the format used by the PT department, in a method that is accurate, concise, legible, grammatically correct and timely 11. coordinate the physical therapy care for more than one patient at a time 12. identify accurate billing codes (CPT codes) and the number of units for each patient treatment session in a timely manner 13. instruct a patient in a therapeutic exercise program for the first time 14. delegate appropriate tasks to support staff as a demonstration of time and resource management 15. contribute to discharge planning with the assistance of a supervising PT 16. demonstrate time management skills by managing his/her daily schedule to maximize efficiency 17. recognize individual and cultural differences and respond appropriately in all aspects of physical therapy services 3

This section has been provided to inform the Clinical Instructor of the didactic material that the student/learner has already covered within the PTA curriculum. If the Clinical Instructor chooses to instruct the student/learner in skills not included in this list or the PTA 224 course objectives, the Clinical Instructor is then responsible for teaching the student/learner the new skill and ensuring the student/learner s competency and safety with that skill prior to patient care. Pre-requisite courses Student/learners have successfully completed all pre-requisite courses including PTA 101: Introduction to PTA and PTA 105: Kinesiology. 4

6 Using this Clinical Performance Instrument: The Physical Therapist Assistant Program at Mercer County Community College uses its own Clinical Performance Instrument (CPI) for the assessment of student/learner performance in the clinical setting. For Clinical Instructors who are familiar with the APTA s CPI, that document does not change from clinical to clinical. What changes with regards to the APTA s CPI is the expectation of where the student/learners performance should be at the end of each clinical affiliation. Unlike the APTA CPI, our CPIs are different for each of the three clinical affiliations and the goals reflect the exact expectations of student/learner performance for each of the three clinical affiliations. The goals change and become more complex as the student/learners progress through the clinical education component of the program. It is expected that the student/learners meet all goals by the end of the clinical affiliation. However, just as with the APTA CPI, expectations are not always met. The PTA Program at Mercer does not utilize a pass/fail approach to clinical education and it is the Academic Coordinator of Clinical Education (ACCE) at Mercer who is ultimately responsible for the academic grade. It is in the student/learner s best interest to provide accurate and honest feedback during the midterm assessment, so that the student/learner has the opportunity to demonstrate improvement prior to the final assessment. While some skills will be progressed and continue in future clinical affiliations (i.e. documentation, billing, communication, etc), others are specific to certain PT settings. This may be the only clinical affiliation the student/learner will have in this particular PT setting. Therefore, student/learners should become competent in the foundational skills that are unique to this setting. For instance, there are certain exercises and manual techniques that are typical of an outpatient setting. In the subacute setting, there are transfers that may be foundational to that setting. In the acute care setting, reading and interpreting lab results may be foundational to that setting. When assessing student/learner performance, please make a mark along the 0-10 line which indicates to the best of your ability, the current performance level of the student/learner. Please differentiate the midterm assessment from the final assessment by utilizing M and F as indicators. Additional Learning Experiences are Encouraged: There are many aspects of clinical practice in addition to direct patient care. The PTA program highly encourages student/learners to observe and practice additional areas of clinical practice when provided the opportunity. These additional experiences may include but are not limited to billing and coding, scheduling, quality assurance review, ordering supplies, vendor relationships, grand rounds and in-services. ================================================================ Call if at any time the student/learner is considered unsafe with patients 6
