The poster will highlight a product or project the students created to improve the clinical care of one of the types of patients discussed in class. This can be in the evaluative, treatment, educational, adaptive, or preventative areas of the disease. Ideas may include educational videos, teaching methods for children, home adaptive equipment, group exercise or education sessions, evaluative tools ,etc. PT faculty will evaluate the projects. See assignment sheet for specific grading criteria and content information.
Students have the entire semester to schedule the time.
The student should contact the front desk of GPRS to find out the patient load for the week and schedule accordingly. Students will then be asked to write a 1 page paper describing their experience as well as discussing their experience during class. Students, in groups of 4, will be given information for a case of a patient with a wound. The patient will either progress to full healing, or regress and require surgical intervention. The case needs to take into account ethical, psychosocial, and economic details as well as discharge planning.
