This course is the ‘capstone’ course which emphasizes the student’s readiness to embrace the knowledge, values, and skills of the profession of physical therapy.

Mechanisms for seeking out community resources, mentors, networking, and participation in professional organizations will be presented in more detail. Expectations during the first year of practice will be investigated from an employer as well as employee perspective. Ways to foster the student’s future role of becoming a clinical instructor will be explored and emphasized.
