OP 7004: Clinical Practicum in P&O IV

2 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: OP 7003
This is the last curriculum segment in a sequence of four clinical practicum courses that are designed to provide students with “real world” exposure to prosthetic and orthotic clinical practice through off-site clinical rotations. The in-class instruction for this course focuses on business skills related to running a medical practice. Students engage in leadership and management exercises specific to a P&O practice, discuss and critique billing practices, work on effective communication with other medical professionals (e.g., elevator pitch) and presentation strategies for in-services.
