PT 6470 - Professional and Leadership Development I

This course is designed to encourage students to reflect about professional (including legal and ethical) and leadership concepts presented in prior DPT courses and discuss how they relate to and manifest in clinical practice. Students will participate in online discussions with classmates and faculty throughout their second clinical experience (concurrent with this course) so as to allow students to integrate actual clinical examples into the discussions. Students will also be asked to reflect about specific professional and leadership topics presented in online discussion forum format. The course culminates with an in-class presentation of a case example (specific to professionalism or leadership) based on events occurring during the student’s clinical experience.

Credits: 1 hour
