Academic Practicum 2

The Academic Practicum 2 experience in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program builds upon the foundation established in Academic Practicum I by advancing students' project work toward completion and dissemination. Working in small groups with mentorship, students refine and execute their planned initiatives in service, clinical research, or specialty practice/quality improvement. Emphasis is placed on synthesizing project outcomes into a clear and organized product and sharing results with a professional audience. Students continue to develop skills in teamwork and leadership while engaging collaboratively with mentors, peers, and relevant stakeholders. The course also fosters ongoing professional growth through reflection on the practicum experience and its influence on future scholarly and practice endeavors.
