Instructions to Students[edit | edit source]

If you are about to start a clinical education rotation with Physical Therapy Central or Redbud Physical Therapy, 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 the team!

Print this itinerary (PTC or Redbud) to allow for quick assessment and tracking of upcoming assignments and due dates. Reminder that all necessary forms can also be found on our website.
