Handbook of Teaching and Learning for Physical Therapists, 3rd Edition
Paperback
Whether students will be practicing in an in-patient or an out-patient facility, academic institution, or clinical residency program, this well-respected handbook gives them the background and guidance they need to effectively educate individuals across the continuum of physical therapy practice. Practical, real-life examples show how to: incorporate health literacy and needs of the learner; assess and adapt to the various learning styles of patients; use simulations in education; facilitate the development of clinical reasoning skills; and assess learning outcomes and the effectiveness of the teaching. Plus, four all-new chapters and major revisions of all content throughout the book keep students on top of the latest research and best practices.
