Integrated Clinical Experience 2

Course Description

The Integrated Clinical Experience (ICE) 2 course is the second in a series of five. This course implements approaches to develop the clinical reasoning scaffold in patient care, while enhancing opportunities for growth of professional behaviors and peer learning. The aim of the ICE course series is to integrate concurrent didactic coursework with experiential learning activities in varying settings. The ICE 2 course emphasizes the development of the patient-therapist interaction surrounding basic clinical skills and aims to present clinical decision-making strategies at a linear and beginner level. The course activities take place in simulated patient environments, clinical settings, and in the classroom and aim to foster professional behavior, communication, and patient interaction skills. Guided self-reflection is utilized to illustrate the interactions within the reasoning process, appropriate for students at this beginning level. Students perform self and peer reflection within learning activities related to basic skill development occurring simultaneously in the didactic curriculum, as well as skills learned across semesters in the first year. Students will be expected to act in a professional manner and practice skills learned in laboratory sessions of first year DPT courses during this experiential learning course. Presented clinical and simulated cases highlight typical attributes of the health condition, body structure/function, activities, and participation.
