Clinical Education Information
Clinical Education Overview
Clinical education is an integral component of the professional education program in Physical Therapy. It is integrated into the curriculum with the same care as the didactic program in 2 distinct types of experiences: Integrated Clinical Experiences and Full-time Clinical Experiences.
It is augmented by student involvement in the Misericordia Physical Therapy Pro Bono Clinic.
