On November 1, the members of the Boys and Girls Club in North Tampa were divided into four stations where they were given information in a lecture format and then broke into fun games to help reinforce the material presented to them. The program was a great success for the 69 boys and girls club members who participated. Not only was the program a great educational opportunity for the boys and girls, but it was also quite an education for the PT students to look at the possibilities for the physical therapy profession to serve underprivileged youth who otherwise may not have any experience with physical therapy. Mr. Ross and Dr. Page are also continuing to work on their study of instructional strategies of PT clinical instructors. They would like as many subjects as they can.
Subjects wear a small, beeper-like device that randomly signals.
When it signals, the CI records which instructional strategy they are using. The study lasts either until the student being supervised completes their rotation or 500 signals occur. With over 300 subjects, he will be studying a quality of life measure for secondary lymphedema. The purpose of this study is to examine moral reasoning and professional role orientation among practicing PTs. The Class of 01 is taking their Journal Club on the road this term.
