(4)

This course evaluates common lifespan pathological processes (renal and urologic, gastrointestinal, rheumatology, lymphatic, endocrine and metabolic, genital and reproductive, hematologic, hepatic and biliary, immune, integumentary) and their impact on patient management, especially in developing physical therapists’ differential diagnoses, prognoses, and plans of care, including referral. Specific topics such as burns, wounds, lymphedema, nutrition, and sleep will be evaluated. The pathophysiology, medical diagnosis, clinical manifestations, medical/surgical/healthcare team management, system interactions, and prevention of medical conditions will be presented as a foundation for developing a physical therapy plan of care.
