HSC 7320 - Advancing Hand Therapy

Hours: 2

This course focuses on diagnoses that you would most typically treat in an outpatient orthopaedic hand clinic setting. These diagnoses will be presented with a variety of media that will complement the context and facilitate your learning. The purpose of this course is the application of quality clinical reasoning skills. Learning goals of this course include expanding the student’s existing knowledge base in the area of upper extremity orthopaedic rehabilitation following trauma, disease processes, and post-surgical intervention. Secondly, students will apply this additional evidence-based material to new clinical reasoning skills that will optimize the student’s effectiveness with patient treatment.
