2 semester hours
The physical therapist’s role as an independent practitioner working in a collaborative medical model requires the ability to identify signs and symptoms of systemic disease that can mimic neuromusculoskeletal dysfunctions.

This course enables the student to recognize clinical manifestations that warrant a referral to another member of the health care team. Offered fall trimester only.
