Hours: 1

This course expands on foundational concepts of critical thinking and clinical reasoning by incorporating systems thinking, dialectical thinking, and metacognitive and reflective practices into the clinical decision-making process. Learners apply these concepts and critical thinking strategies to the management of patient cases that include individuals with a musculoskeletal, neurological, or cardiovascular condition and reflect on their clinical decision making throughout the physical therapist management process to further develop skills for adaptive expertise. Principles of evidence-based practice are incorporated into the clinical decision-making processes.
