Affiliated Healthcare Facilities
The Physical Therapy Program at Keiser University has established affiliations with renowned healthcare facilities and clinics. These partnerships allow students to gain practical experience in diverse clinical settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and outpatient clinics. Under the supervision of experienced clinicians, students apply their theoretical knowledge and develop essential skills in patient assessment, treatment planning, and implementation of interventions.
Progressive Clinical Experiences
Throughout the program, students progress from observation experiences to supervised clinical practice. They start by observing licensed physical therapists in various clinical settings, gaining insights into the day-to-day responsibilities of a physical therapist. As they advance, students transition to direct patient care under the guidance of clinical instructors, gradually assuming more responsibilities and building their confidence as competent practitioners.
Diverse Patient Populations
Keiser University’s clinical practicum opportunities expose students to a diverse range of patient populations, enabling them to develop cultural competence and adaptability in their practice. Students work with individuals of different ages, backgrounds, and medical conditions, enhancing their ability to provide patient-centered, inclusive care.
