Clinical experiences are a crucial aspect of the student’s development as a physical therapist allowing them to gain important skills and develop professional behaviors to become effective clinicians in various patient populations and settings. Clinical internships are designed to provide students with experience in the evaluation and management of patients with musculoskeletal dysfunctions, neuromuscular and cardiopulmonary disorders and acute care diagnoses. The progression of expectations and objectives for each clinical experience are designed to reach entry-level expectations and DMU defined student learning outcomes at the end of the curriculum. Each student is expected to complete an inpatient and outpatient clinical internship as well as two elective experiences.
