For my final research essay, I will continue to look at my major of Physical Therapy<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>and discuss how the elements in the world of literacy can be translated into<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>a<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>specific<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>career field.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>There are so many skills<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>used in Physical Therapy that do not just<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>pertain<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>to it specifically, but also skills<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>that are practical in every professional setting.

I will have many questions that I will present<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>in<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>the beginning of my essay that will set up the multiple ideas that I will go over.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>My questions that I will discuss in my essay are<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u201cHow is literacy involved in Physical Therapy and writing evaluation notes and progress reports?\u201d.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>A lot of writing goes into<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>being a physical therapist because it is<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>their<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>responsibility<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>to make evaluations on the patient and to do that you must be able to correctly write reports.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Another question that will be asked is<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u201cHow does communication between Physical Therapists and Doctors or other medical professionals affect how work is done in practice?\u201d. This goes along with the other question<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u201cHow is IPE involved with everyday practice for Physical Therapists and for the education of DPT students?\u201d. These both revolve around the idea<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>on<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>how Physical therapists are involved in the health care setting in the context of IPE. My other questions are<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u201cHow much does communication between the Physical Therapist and the patient affect the relationship between them?\u201d,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u201cAre discourse different in each specific area of practice in Physical Therapy?

There are many academic fields<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>that<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>could be<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>interested<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>regarding the topic of<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>IPE. The most prominent and obvious field would be the medical field simply because it<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>pertains<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>their<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>professional setting.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>It is<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>pretty important<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>for science fields in general to be good at working as a team because being able to<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>do that<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>is<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>factor that<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>can lead to new<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>discovery.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Another academic field<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>that would be interested in this topic would be<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>sociology. This field would<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>definitely be<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>interested in the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>dynamic<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>of different health professionals<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>and how they work as a group to provide<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>a patient<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>care.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Other fields that could be interested in this topic could really be any<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>professional business setting. Even though Interprofessional Education is highly focused on in the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>medical field,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>it still can be translated into other places of business where people work as a<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>team.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

I will begin my essay by introducing my topic and starting with something that will relate my audience to what I am talking about. This will draw the reader in and make them more interested on the topic. I will also relate this topic to myself and how it<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>involves<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>what I am majoring in.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>I will then<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>introduce<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>and explain what Interprofessional Education is and how it pertains to the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>medical field. This will then allow to present my main idea about how physical therapy is involved with IPE in different<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>settings<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>but I will not try to give away<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>too much of my thesis right away. The goal is to slowly introduce points into my essay instead of giving away what I am going to write about in the beginning. I want the audience to be able to reflect on each point that I make in the essay<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>and allow them to gain new perspectives as it goes on.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

For the organization of my essay, I would like to start out<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>by<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>answering the smaller questions that I have presented for my research<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>topics and then gradually move into my larger topic which is Interprofessional Education (IPE) involved with Physical Therapists.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>This will allow the reader to have more context and information on how being a Physical<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Therapist<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>is and what the job entails. This will allow them<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>to understand the role<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>more when talking about other health professions and how they work with them to<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>provide<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>patient care.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

I will first discuss how writing is a major<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>component<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>of<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>being a Physical Therapist.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>I will explain that there are certain ways that a<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>PT<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>must<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>write progress reports and evaluation notes and that there is a certain amount of literacy involved when<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>evaluating a<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>patient's<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>status.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>I will use the source, \u201cPhysical Therapy Assessment Documentation: 3 Tips & Examples\u201d. This article gives a good, detailed description on how to write the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>notes and<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>represents<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>the amount understanding a Physical Therapist needs to know when it comes to organizing these reports.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

I will next discuss the different<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>discourses<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>involved in literacy. There are many different<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>settings<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>that you can be involved<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>in<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>and it is important for the audience to understand the full scope of the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>profession.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Presenting these different settings<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>will show<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>that there<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>are different specialized areas and along with that, multiple discourses involved with the field depending on which one they are in. I will use the source<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u201c6 Different Types of Physical Therapy\u201d. This presents the main fields of Physical Therapy and what each specialization does<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>daily. I will be able to build<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>off<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>this source and explain the different areas in<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Physical<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Therapy that<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>can require<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>diverse ways<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>of thinking and communicating depending on the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>context of the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>situation.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

My next research topic that I will get into is how<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>education in Doctor of Physical Therapy Programs (DPT) prepare students for the practice setting. I will express to the audience how rigorous these DPT programs are and how important it is for these students to have clinical experience before graduating. The source that I will use for this section of the essay will be,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\"Changes in perceived self-efficacy of physical therapist students following a pediatric<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>experiential<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>learning opportunity\".<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>This article discusses the positive effects of having a DPT student do<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>work in the clinical setting<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>and obtain more experience.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

These research topics are very related to each other in many ways so the way I want to format it is where I can transition from each of the topics<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>by relating them to each other. This will allow me to be able to<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>connect all of them as I go along and help the reader be able to come to their own conclusions.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

The next topic that I will cover will be communication between the Physical Therapist and the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>patient. I will emphasize that this is the most crucial part about being a PT and is especially important to develop those skills while you are training to become one. The sources that I will use are,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u201cThe Added Value of Therapist Communication on the Effect of Physical Therapy Treatment in Older Adults; a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis\u201d,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u201cCommunication Is Currency\u201d,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>and \u201cPhysical Therapist Management of Patients<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>with<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>or Recovering From COVID-19\". These sources will overall<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>show the significance of<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>having a good relationship<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>witht<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>the patient and being able to communicate with them. I will also talk briefly about the pandemic and how this affects the relationship between<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>patients<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>and the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>PT.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

I will move into my last topic which will discuss<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Interprofessional Education (IPE). I will quickly remind the reader of what IPE is and in the context of health professions. The sources I will use are, \"Student experiences of interprofessional simulation: findings from a qualitative study\",<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\"Students\u2019 motivation for interprofessional collaboration after their experience on an IPE ward: A qualitative analysis framed by self-determination theory.\",<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u201cDoes Mode Matter? Perception of Student Competence Following an IPE Communication Experience.\u201d,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>and<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u201cHow PT,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>OT<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Work Together to Help Memorial Regional Health Patients Heal\u201d.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>I will present these sources so that I first discuss what IPE is like in a practice setting. I will then present my research so that I then move into<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>how DPT students experience IPE while in school. This will show the importance of IPE and how it can make a difference for not only<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>PTs<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>but also other health professionals while they are in training to have a better understanding of their roles and identity in the field.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

I will give my conclusion by discussing the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>diverse types<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>of<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>literacy<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>involved in Physical Therapy by briefly<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>summarizing<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>my points. I will then emphasize the importance of IPE and how beneficial it is for the healthcare field.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>This will allow me to give my thesis at the end of the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>essay,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>so I<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>do not<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>give the reader a<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>mindset<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>going into reading it.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>It will allow<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>opportunities<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>for the audience to reflect on the points brought and<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>draw<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>their own conclusion by the end of it.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

For my final research essay, I will continue to look at my major of Physical Therapy<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and discuss how the elements in the world of literacy can be translated into<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>specific<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>career field.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>There are so many skills<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>used in Physical Therapy that do not just<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>pertain<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to it specifically, but also skills<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>that are practical in every professional setting. This is what makes this career<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>so<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>unique<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>that you must be a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>well-rounded<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>individual in general.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>One of the most significant aspects of this<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>particular career<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>choice is that<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>you<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>have to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>work<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>really well<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>in a team dynamic. This could be with other Physical Therapists or even different health professionals<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>depending on what setting of practice you are in.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>In order to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>work well with other people in your team, not only do you need to understand your job, but you also need to understand what other people\u2019s jobs and roles are. This<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>creates a more cohesive team between<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the group and translates to more efficiency. This understanding of each other\u2019s roles within a team is called Interprofessional Education<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>(IPE).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>My final research essay will<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>take a closer look at how IPE is involved in the health field but also looking specifically at how physical therapists<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>are involved within<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>different health settings in the context of IPE.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I will have many questions that I will present<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>in<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the beginning of my essay that will set up the multiple ideas that I will go over.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>My questions that I will discuss in my essay are<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cHow is literacy involved in Physical Therapy and writing evaluation notes and progress reports?\u201d.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>A lot of writing goes into<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>being a physical therapist because it is<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>their<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>responsibility<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to make evaluations on the patient and to do that you must be able to correctly write reports.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Another question that will be asked is<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cHow does communication between Physical Therapists and Doctors or other medical professionals affect how work is done in practice?\u201d. This goes along with the other question<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cHow is IPE involved with everyday practice for Physical Therapists and for the education of DPT students?\u201d. These both revolve around the idea<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>on<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>how Physical therapists are involved in the health care setting in the context of IPE. My other questions are<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cHow much does communication between the Physical Therapist and the patient affect the relationship between them?\u201d,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cAre discourse different in each specific area of practice in Physical Therapy? If so, how are they different?\u201d,\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cHow does the education in DPT (Doctor Physical Therapy) prepare Physical Therapists for the practice environment?\u201d.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>These<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>questions will act as a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>back bone<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>for my essay overall and will lead me to a conclusion.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There are many academic fields<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>that<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>could be<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>interested<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>regarding the topic of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>IPE. The most prominent and obvious field would be the medical field simply because it<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>pertains<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>their<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>professional setting.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>It is<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>pretty important<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>for science fields in general to be good at working as a team because being able to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>do that<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>factor that<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>can lead to new<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>discovery.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Another academic field<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>that would be interested in this topic would be<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>sociology. This field would<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>definitely be<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>interested in the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>dynamic<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of different health professionals<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and how they work as a group to provide<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>a patient<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>care.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Other fields that could be interested in this topic could really be any<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>professional business setting. Even though Interprofessional Education is highly focused on in the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>medical field,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>it still can be translated into other places of business where people work as a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>team.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I will begin my essay by introducing my topic and starting with something that will relate my audience to what I am talking about. This will draw the reader in and make them more interested on the topic. I will also relate this topic to myself and how it<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>involves<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>what I am majoring in.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>I will then<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>introduce<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and explain what Interprofessional Education is and how it pertains to the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>medical field. This will then allow to present my main idea about how physical therapy is involved with IPE in different<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>settings<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>but I will not try to give away<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>too much of my thesis right away. The goal is to slowly introduce points into my essay instead of giving away what I am going to write about in the beginning. I want the audience to be able to reflect on each point that I make in the essay<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and allow them to gain new perspectives as it goes on.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For the organization of my essay, I would like to start out<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>by<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>answering the smaller questions that I have presented for my research<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>topics and then gradually move into my larger topic which is Interprofessional Education (IPE) involved with Physical Therapists.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>This will allow the reader to have more context and information on how being a Physical<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Therapist<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is and what the job entails. This will allow them<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to understand the role<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>more when talking about other health professions and how they work with them to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>provide<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>patient care.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I will first discuss how writing is a major<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>component<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>being a Physical Therapist.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>I will explain that there are certain ways that a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>PT<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>must<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>write progress reports and evaluation notes and that there is a certain amount of literacy involved when<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>evaluating a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>patient’s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>status.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>I will use the source, \u201cPhysical Therapy Assessment Documentation: 3 Tips & Examples\u201d. This article gives a good, detailed description on how to write the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>notes and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>represents<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the amount understanding a Physical Therapist needs to know when it comes to organizing these reports.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I will next discuss the different<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>discourses<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>involved in literacy. There are many different<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>settings<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>that you can be involved<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>in<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and it is important for the audience to understand the full scope of the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>profession.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Presenting these different settings<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>will show<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>that there<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>are different specialized areas and along with that, multiple discourses involved with the field depending on which one they are in. I will use the source<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201c6 Different Types of Physical Therapy\u201d. This presents the main fields of Physical Therapy and what each specialization does<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>daily. I will be able to build<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>off<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>this source and explain the different areas in<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Physical<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Therapy that<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>can require<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>diverse ways<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of thinking and communicating depending on the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>context of the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>situation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

My next research topic that I will get into is how<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>education in Doctor of Physical Therapy Programs (DPT) prepare students for the practice setting. I will express to the audience how rigorous these DPT programs are and how important it is for these students to have clinical experience before graduating. The source that I will use for this section of the essay will be,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>“Changes in perceived self-efficacy of physical therapist students following a pediatric<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>experiential<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>learning opportunity”.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>This article discusses the positive effects of having a DPT student do<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>work in the clinical setting<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and obtain more experience.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

These research topics are very related to each other in many ways so the way I want to format it is where I can transition from each of the topics<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>by relating them to each other. This will allow me to be able to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>connect all of them as I go along and help the reader be able to come to their own conclusions.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The next topic that I will cover will be communication between the Physical Therapist and the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>patient. I will emphasize that this is the most crucial part about being a PT and is especially important to develop those skills while you are training to become one. The sources that I will use are,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cThe Added Value of Therapist Communication on the Effect of Physical Therapy Treatment in Older Adults; a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis\u201d,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cCommunication Is Currency\u201d,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and \u201cPhysical Therapist Management of Patients<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>with<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>or Recovering From COVID-19″. These sources will overall<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>show the significance of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>having a good relationship<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>witht<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the patient and being able to communicate with them. I will also talk briefly about the pandemic and how this affects the relationship between<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>patients<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>PT.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I will move into my last topic which will discuss<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Interprofessional Education (IPE). I will quickly remind the reader of what IPE is and in the context of health professions. The sources I will use are, “Student experiences of interprofessional simulation: findings from a qualitative study”,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>“Students\u2019 motivation for interprofessional collaboration after their experience on an IPE ward: A qualitative analysis framed by self-determination theory.”,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cDoes Mode Matter? Perception of Student Competence Following an IPE Communication Experience.\u201d,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201cHow PT,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>OT<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Work Together to Help Memorial Regional Health Patients Heal\u201d.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>I will present these sources so that I first discuss what IPE is like in a practice setting. I will then present my research so that I then move into<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>how DPT students experience IPE while in school. This will show the importance of IPE and how it can make a difference for not only<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>PTs<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>but also other health professionals while they are in training to have a better understanding of their roles and identity in the field.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I will give my conclusion by discussing the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>diverse types<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>literacy<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>involved in Physical Therapy by briefly<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>summarizing<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>my points. I will then emphasize the importance of IPE and how beneficial it is for the healthcare field.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>This will allow me to give my thesis at the end of the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>essay,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>so I<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>do not<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>give the reader a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>mindset<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>going into reading it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>It will allow<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>opportunities<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>for the audience to reflect on the points brought and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>draw<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>their own conclusion by the end of it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This non-scholarly article talks about how important it is to communicate with your<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>patient and build trust with them to be able to build a relationship. The biggest takeaway from the article is that Physical therapists really need to adapt to the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>patients<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>personality and really take the time to listen<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to them. This is relevant to my research topic<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of how significant the communication between the Physical Therapist and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the patient really is<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and how it is crucial to build trust.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
