Course nine in the nine course series completes professional goal setting and investigates interprofessional experiences and complex patient management. Discussion of complex interprofessional scenarios facilitate refinement of advanced communication skills. Students submit their final professional behaviors reflection in this course as part of the annual credentialing process.

ICE 6 occurs in an inpatient setting for half of the sessions while the other half will involve leading a community health activity. Practice, supervision, and skill development will be facilitated in complex patient care. Students will be paired with 1st year students who are on ICE 1.

Terminal Clinical Experiences (TCE) 1 is a full time (37+ hours/week) 8-week clinical experience with opportunities for supervised patient management in examination, evaluation, program planning, discharge planning, and intervention for patients in an assigned practice setting. Student outcomes are assessed using the nationally standardized Clinical Performance Index (CPI). Expectations for students' performance are incrementally higher than on previous clinical experiences in the areas of supervision/guidance, quality, complexity, consistency, and efficiency as defined by the APTA Clinical Performance Instrument. By the end of this course, students should be rated on the CPI at or above intermediate level in all categories.

Terminal Clinical Experiences (TCE) 2 is a full time (37+ hours/week) 10-week supervised clinical experience with opportunities to synthesize and apply previous learning. Student outcomes are assessed using the nationally standardized Clinical Performance Index (CPI). By the end of this course, students should be rated on the CPI at or above advanced intermediate level in all categories. The student is expected to be a mature, self-directed learner and demonstrate increasingly competent behaviors in professional interaction, communication, consultation, and management. Time management, ethical decision-making, and integration of assessment and goal setting will be further refined.

Terminal Clinical Experiences (TCE) 3 is a full time (37+ hours/week) 12-week supervised clinical. Student outcomes are assessed using the nationally standardized Clinical Performance Index (CPI). As TCE 3 is a culminating experience, students should achieve CPI ratings at or above entry-level in all categories by the end of this rotation. Expectations for students' performance are incrementally higher than on previous clinical experiences in the areas of supervision/guidance, quality, complexity, consistency, and efficiency as defined by the CPI. The student is expected to be a mature, self-directed learner and demonstrate increasingly competent behaviors in professional interaction, communication, consultation, and management.

This course allows students options in seeking advanced practice topics for further exploration in a seminar, weekend, distance learning or other non-traditional format. Different course sections will be offered that examine current, relevant, emerging topics in physical therapy practice, and research. Selections may vary year-to-year dependent on clinical, healthcare, or research trends, and expertise availability. Students will be required to choose a combination of sections/topics to achieve three credit hours of electives. This course is repeatable up to 3 credits.
