Instructions to Students[edit | edit source]

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. The clinical education blocks are modules to further build your clinical skills. The blocks contain articles, videos, and clinical reasoning exercises. Each block has checklists to be completed before moving on to the next block. You and your clinical instructor will determine the pace required to complete all of the blocks prior to the end of your rotation. The long-term students will also be required to post their case studies as well as the other projects by the students.  This physiopedia page is a work in progress and will keep you updated and informed.  

Pre Internship Content[edit | edit source]

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.
