Health Professions

How do you help students link the concepts to application and prep for the clinical environment?

 

~ Cases in appendix (p501) help students develop critical thinking skills and treatment and application boxes (pp 176,410, 248).

 

Do you cover more current topics such as wound management and pelvic floor dysfunction?

 

~ Incorporates the latest physical agents and techniques highlighted; such as Chap 30 and 4.
