Entry Level Curriculum: Year Three
Medical Screening and Differential Diagnosis
– PTDR7390
Medical Screening for Physical Therapists
– PTDR7390
This course teaches students to differentiate conditions that require
medical intervention from those that require physical therapy intervention.
Students learn a systematic approach to medical screening
via diagnostic interviewing‚ recognition of pain patterns and
types‚ associated signs and symptoms of systemic pathology‚
and review of systems. Lectures build from patient scenarios that
emphasize client symptoms rather than medical diagnosis. Students
also gain experience composing letters to a referring physician
outlining concerns identified in the medical screening process.
