| The Physical Therapy Program at the University of
South Carolina is designed to foster in students a commitment to
practicing evidence-based physical therapy and a commitment to
continuing education throughout their professional careers. The
curriculum is designed to provide students with interaction with
other disciplines that will lead to respect for their contribution
to patient management while recognizing the body of information
unique to the profession of physical therapy. The intent of the
foundational core of the curriculum is to provide the basis for the
development of strong clinical skills. The program is committed to
deliver a level of content that is reflective of education at the
doctoral level. The curriculum is sequenced to provide students with
a foundation upon which clinical skills are developed and refined.
Clinical experiences are designed to provide students with the
opportunity to practice and refine their clinical skills and are
sequenced to complement didactic instruction. The program faculty
believes that multiple instructional methods are appropriate for all
content across the curriculum and that the instructional method
should be selected based upon the nature of the content to be
delivered and the needs of the students. |
