Adjunct Faculty

Daemen University • Amherst, NY

12d • Onsite

About The Position

The clinical exposure component of the curriculum consists of five semesters of every other week clinic-based experiential learning sessions. This course is the first in the series across each of the professional phase academic semesters. These sessions are mentored by clinical adjunct faculty in collaboration with core faculty concurrently teaching the specialty content in the campus-based didactic coursework. These brief, regular exposures to clinical practice allow the student to observe and engage in the practice of physical therapy, further developing cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills acquired in lecture and laboratory experiences. Small student teams will visit a local clinical facility that provides care to a variety of patient profiles within musculoskeletal rehabilitation. This experience is designed to permit the student to become acclimated to the clinical environment and develop effective patient-therapist communication skills. Students will synthesize knowledge already gained in classroom coursework with practical experience. PT 563: Clinical Exposure I
