Clinical Education in Physical Therapy: The Evolution from Student to Clinical Instructor and Beyond by Debra F. Stern Written in adherence with the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education's (CAPTE) standards, Clinical Education in Physical Therapy explores the evolution from student to Clinical Instructor (CI) while serving as an essential educational resource for Physical Therapy students. This exciting new text presents the rewards and challenges of becoming a CI, the legal issues involved for the academic institution and the clinical sites, interprofessional education, clinical education models, establishing a clinical education program, and much more! Trends in the current healthcare marketplace are also highlighted, addressing changes in employment and staffing arrangements that directly impact practice and clinical education. Clinical Education in Physical Therapy takes the reader from the responsibilities of a student learner through the completion of clinical education, guiding the student through entering the world as a practitioner, and ultimately facilitating the decision-making process of transitioning to a CI and potentially a Site Coordinator of Clinical Education (SCCE). The text includes a dedicated chapter on leadership and professionalism, both of which have been stressed in recent years by both the APTA and CAPTE. Clinical Education in Physical Therapy incorporates a robust pedagogy with a consistent format. Key Points and Learning Objectives at the beginning of each chapter establish primary take-aways for readers, while case studies in select chapters reinforce practical application of the material. Chapters end with thought provoking Discussion Questions designed to strengthen the readers mastery of key topics and inspire analysis. Slides in PowerPoint format are also available to aid instructors in teaching their courses.

Enhancing Healthcare and Rehabilitation: The Impact of Qualitative Research by Christopher M. Hayre Summary Description This book is primarily a celebration of the qualitative work undertaken internationally by a number of experienced researchers. It also focuses on developing the use of qualitative research for health and rehabilitative practitioners by recognizing its value methodologically and empirically. We find that the very nature of qualitative research offers an array of opportunities for researchers in being able to understand the social world around us. Further, through experience and discussion, this book identifies the multifaceted use of qualitative methods in the healthcare and rehabilitative setting. This book touches on the role of the researcher, the participants involved, and the research environment. In short, we see how these three central elements can affect the nature of qualitative work in attempts to offer originality. This text speaks to a number of audiences. Students who are writing undergraduate dissertations and research proposals, they may find the myriad of examples stimulating and may support the rationale for methodological decisions in their own work. For academics, practitioners, and prospective qualitative researchers this book also aims to demonstrate an array of opportunism in the field of qualitative research and how they may resonate with arguments proffered. It is anticipated that readers will find this collection of qualitative examples not only useful for informing their own research, but we also hope to enlighten new discussions and arguments regarding both methodological and empirical use of qualitative work internationally. Features Encompasses the importance of qualitative research and how it can be used to facilitate healthcare and rehabilitation across a wide range of health conditions. Evaluates empirical data whilst critically applying it to contemporary practices. Provides readers with an overview with future directions and influence policy makers in order to develop practice.　 Focuses on an array of health conditions that can affect groups of the population, coincided with life issues and the care and family support received. Offers innovative methodological insights for prospective researchers in order to add to the existing evidence base. 　 may find the myriad of examples stimulating and may support the rationale for methodological decisions in their own work.
