Mentoring the Advanced Practitioner in Physical Therapy
This course will explore methods to promote clinical reasoning and the inclusion of research evidence into clinical practice. Distinctions between serving as a clinical instructor, mentor, or life coach will be discussed. This course will discuss how orthopedic manual physical therapy (OMPT) mentorship incorporates both the scope and dimensions of the International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapists (IFOMPT) into the mentoring process. Both theoretical and practical aspects of how to encourage advanced diagnostic reasoning, clinical reasoning, and the transition from novice to expert will be deliberated.
