Comparisons of Clinical Competency and Job Responsibilities of Physical Therapists With and Without Postprofessional Training
CONCLUSION: Results from this paper demonstrate that residency- and fellowship-trained PTs have elements of higher self-perceived clinical competency and spend more of their job duties outside of direct patient care compared with PTs who were not residency or fellowship trained. These results may help guide PTs, academic institutions, and employers in planning and achieving specific career paths.PMID:38478789 | DOI:10.1097/JTE.0000000000000295 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Applying the 2022 Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Entry-Level Physical Therapist Competencies to Physical Therapist Education and Practice
CONCLUSION: The establishment of entry-level competencies is essential for use by multiple stakeholders to inform physical therapist curriculum, provide clinical instructors with a reference for expected levels of proficiency during final student clinical experiences, guide content on the Federation of State Boards of PT national licensure examination, and prepare employers to provide needed continued professional development, based on the clinical environment. These competencies lend themselves to the future development of EPAs in the PT profession for CVP PT.PMID:38478807 | DOI:10.1097/JTE.0000000000000285 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Effects of a Blocked Versus Full-Length Semester Design on Doctor of Physical Therapy Student Performance and Retention
CONCLUSION: A blocked semester design may favor immediate cognitive performance. However, there is no significant effect on knowledge or skill retention over a 6-month period. Programs faced with the potential for in-person closures can select either semester structure based on their needs without compromising knowledge or skill retention.PMID:38478810 | DOI:10.1097/JTE.0000000000000287 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Facilitators and Barriers to Providing Clinical Education Experiences Through the Lens of Clinical Stakeholders
CONCLUSION: Clinical instructors identified values and benefits that were, at times, in contrast to the organizational culture. The discrepancies in perceptions among stakeholders that were uncovered by this research provide a unique lens that has not been addressed in the literature to date. To provide meaningful support for CIs, it is imperative that directors of CEs, clinical administrators, and SCCEs clearly understand the perceptions of the CI.PMID:38478811 | DOI:10.1097/JTE.0000000000000280 (Source: Physical Therapy)

The Impact of COVID-19 on Physical Therapy Clinical Education Experiences in Florida
CONCLUSION: All clinical education stakeholders must collaborate to provide students with the required clinical educational opportunities. Academic sites should continue to provide support, training, and incentives to CIs to enhance participation from clinical education sites. Educational programs must add content about COVID-19 to their curriculum and consider providing students with PPE during their rotations to restore the number of CEEs post-COVID-19 pandemic.PMID:38478814 | DOI:10.1097/JTE.0000000000000286 (Source: Physical Therapy)
