Learning Outcomes

Successful completion of this paper aims:

  • To build upon the clinical experiences in PHTY 255 to help students further develop their physiotherapy skills of assessment and treatment in a broader range of clinical practice settings with a wider variety of patient conditions
  • To integrate and underpin this extended clinical experience with the acquisition of knowledge in the fields of communication and clinical reasoning, ethics, cultural awareness, evidence-based practice and behavioural science
  • To progress the understanding of the theory and application of professional and legislative issues in supervised clinical practice
  • To prepare third-year students for the clinical skills, reflective practice and evidence-based practice required to successfully complete year four
  • To ensure students have a good understanding of national and global health trends and issues and where the physiotherapy profession sits within this
