Specialized Courses
As students progress in the program, they delve into specialized courses that focus on areas such as orthopedics, neurology, pediatric physical therapy, and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. These courses provide in-depth knowledge and practical skills specific to various patient populations and conditions.
Clinical Skills Development
A significant portion of the curriculum is dedicated to developing clinical skills. Students participate in hands-on lab sessions where they practice techniques such as therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, and gait analysis. These labs simulate real-world scenarios and allow students to refine their skills under the guidance of experienced faculty.
Evidence-Based Practice
The Keiser University Physical Therapy Program strongly emphasizes evidence-based practice. Students learn how to critically analyze research literature, evaluate treatment modalities, and apply the latest evidence in their clinical decision-making process. This approach ensures that students are equipped with the knowledge and skills to provide the most effective and up-to-date care to their patients.
