Students apply established interventions, perform selected data collection and practice hands-on techniques while supervised and mentored by clinical instructors (licensed physical therapists and/or licensed physical therapist assistants). Upon completion of this course, students are expected to demonstrate patient care skills compatible to the role of an entry-level PTA.
