PTHP 7310 - Health Promotion and Wellness in Physical Therapy (3 Credit Hours)Provides students with the opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge, and competency necessary to manage patients/clients from a population health perspective. The course explores the physical therapist’s role in addressing and advocating for improved health outcomes for individuals, groups, and populations. Students will identify methods that physical therapists use to apply their knowledge of health determinant patterns to specific health interventions and current and/or future health policy changes. The course explores individual-level strategies to promote healthy behaviors, manage chronic disease, and change behavior. Individual and community-level approaches to prevention of disease and/or injury, health and wellness promotion and interprofessional collaborative practice are explored to enhance the physical therapist’s commitment to transforming the health of society. It is expected that the knowledge and skills gained in this course will be applied to patients/clients across the lifespan and continuum of care.
