==Instructions to Students

If you are about to start a clinical education rotation with Physical Therapy Central, then this is the place to start.  The content on this page will contain the basis information that you will be required to know when you begin your rotation as well as a resource for future learning and clinical development.  Please check out the pre internship content prior to your rotation start date. These modules direct your learning and further build your clinical skills during your clinical rotation. The modules contain articles, videos, and clinical reasoning exercises. Each module correlates with the CPI sections to ensure appropriate student performance and advancement. Each checklist should be completed and signed by your CI prior to moving on. The long-term students will be required to post their case studies. This physiopedia page is a work in progress and will keep you updated and informed. Welcome to Physical Therapy Central!

Print this itinerary to allow for quick assessment and tracking of upcoming assignments and due dates.

==Pre Internship Content

Please read our intern manual and watch our orientation videos prior to your start date. The manual and videos inform you about who we are as a private practice group and defines what is expected of you during your clinical rotation. The Scan Exam lecture below is the last requirement of the pre internship content. With sound knowledge of the scan exam, one can smoothly screen for pathology to ensure patients are appropriate for the outpatient orthopedic setting.
