Integrated Clinical Experience 4

Course Description

The Integrated Clinical Experience (ICE) 4 course is the fourth 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 4 course emphasizes the integration of the ICF model and its complex interactions and aims to foster more comprehensive and multi-faceted clinical decision-making strategies. ICE 4 expands upon the foundations established during the first year based upon the concurrent body systems course work. 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. The ICE 4 course helps to further develop the framework of clinical reasoning processes and strategies, integrating material between the courses in the Fall semester of the second didactic year, and between the first and second academic years. Additional complexity is incorporated into clinical scenarios and patient/client interactions that involve patient-related environmental factors such as motivation, family support, beliefs and expectations. It is the expectation that students begin to develop more complex and nonlinear clinical reasoning skills in the ICE 4 course.
