PHYSIOTH 3000 - Person Centred Physiotherapy Practice

In this course students will explore the further development of clinical reasoning and communication skills to promote person-centred physiotherapy. Further development of skills in clinical measurement and integration into reasoning processes for complex clinical scenarios will also be taught. This course will explicitly consolidate concepts explored in previous courses and identify the principles that are shared across the breadth of physiotherapy. Clinical reasoning categories will be explored with emphasis on body structure and function and contextual factors, including ethics and medico-legal frameworks that guide clinician behaviour. Students will expand on the role and process of communication in clinical practice.
