OP 7001: Clinical Practicum in P&O I

1 Credit Hours
This is the first in a sequence of four clinical practicum courses that are designed to provide students with “real world” exposure to prosthetic and orthotic clinical practice, as well as general medicine, through off-site clinical rotations. Through complimentary classroom instruction, students perform exercises to practice and improve their patient interaction skills (e.g., history taking and physical examinations, etc.) in simulated and real clinic situations. Students will learn safe clinical practice (i.e., proper use of equipment and tools for clinical patient assessment, universal precautions, PPE, etc.) and how to prepare appropriate documentation for their clinical interactions (e.g., medical charting).
