DPT-771 Early Clinical Experience (ECE) I

Early Clinical Experiences (ECEs) are full-time (37+hours/week), two week clinical experiences scheduled after the first didactic year. ECE1 is a two-week session in the in-patient setting. Students are expected to apply knowledge and skills learned from their coursework to treat patients with Clinical Instructor supervision and assistance. Though students are not expected to demonstrate mastery of clinical skills or reasoning, they are expected to acclimate to the clinical culture and pursue opportunities for direct interaction and practice with patients and their families, health-care providers, and personnel.
