The purpose of the Academic Practicum (I & II) experience in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program is to provide students with the opportunity to apply and enhance their knowledge and skill while completing a more in-depth and practical experience in one of four areas of their choosing: service, clinical research or specialty practice/quality improvement. The experience also provides for refinement and development of skills and behaviors in a wide variety of collateral areas not immediately associated with the primary content area. Students will identify an area of interest, contact and collaborate with a mentor to design and begin implementation of a project that will extend over two semesters. The course is a two-semester course that continues through the Fall with the final project to be completed at the end of the Fall semester.
