Discussion # 2 8/20/2015 5:48:37 AM I think the therapeutic services would be interesting to me. Since I have a background in massage therapy this seems to be more in my alley. After I graduate from Kaplan I am wanting to attend school for physical therapy assistant so this maybe something that I want to pursue. The sections of the hospital as a whole seems very interesting and I would love to be a part of any of it.

I am writing this letter on behalf of Quentin Goodman, an incoming high school senior who is looking to volunteer at NYU Langone Medical Center, Center for Musculoskeletal Care (CMC), Physical Therapy Department located on 333 East 38th Street, New York, NY 10016. NYU CMC Physical Therapy Supervisor, Dr. James Koo is a professional and personal friend of mine and he gave Quentin your contact information and a tour of the clinic. The reason Quentin wants to become a physical therapist is because his sister, Camille, has had several surgeries when she was younger. He was able to have a first-hand look at how much a physical therapist could impact someone’s life. Camille had to undergo yet another surgery in the summer of 2016, and Quentin was again able to see how different her life would have been without the help of physical therapy.
I am excited about the opportunity to attend the Regis University Physical Therapy Program. I am especially interested in the clinical emphasis at Regis and the international clinical experiences. Additionally, I appreciate the emphasis on hands-on clinical education, manual therapy, and using research findings to improve the care of patients. I would enjoy attending PT school in Denver, but I also welcome the opportunity to gain clinical experience in both a rural setting, as well as at another site outside of Colorado. Growing up in Alaska exposed me to people from diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds.

Professionalism for a D.P.T student is to acquire the highest level of skill, judgment, and competency expected of a future Physical Therapist (PT). According to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), PT’s must aspire to the principles of “altruism, excellence, caring, ethics, respect, communication, and accountability” when working with other professionals to achieve health and wellness in “individuals and communities”. It becomes the responsibility of D.P.T students to adopt these principles but to do so requires practice and application of these principles. Now to succeed in this aspect, I believe a D.P.T student should focus on engaging in acts of altruism, communication, and accountability because these are attributes that
Occupational therapy is the use of assessment and treatment to develop, recover, or maintain the daily living and work skills of people with a physical, mental, or cognitive disorder. Occupational therapists also focus much of their work on identifying and eliminating environmental barriers to independence and participation in daily activities. Occupational therapy is a client-centered practice that places emphasis on the progress towards the client's goals. William Rush Dunton, a supporter of the National Society for the Promotion of Occupational Therapy, sought to promote the idea that occupation is a basic human need, and that occupation is therapeutic. From his statements came some of the basic assumptions of occupational therapy, which
Throughout the semester, I have gained a better understanding of adapted physical education and sport programs. These programs provide children and adults with an opportunity to participate in sports they may not have thought were possible. The modifications to sport and exercise allows individuals with a range of disabilities to engage in activity. The disabilities can range from a mild learning disability to a permanent condition caused from a serious accident. While observing numerous individuals with disabilities, I was able to obtain a better understanding of the challenges that came with physical activity.

As a professional, one must adhere to the guiding principles defined by the professional association. Scope of Practice outlines the “notions of professional conduct, accountability and self- governance and expanded practice”. Scope of Practice summarizes “the range of roles and activities an individual registrant or licensee is permitted to undertake in the course of professional practice. These roles and activities are largely determined by professional education and practice competence along with factors in the practice context, such as demands on practitioners’ services and available resources” (Fealy 2005). Scope of Practice is based upon the “profession 's unique body of knowledge, supported by educational preparation, a body of evidence, and existing or emerging practice frameworks” (American Physical Therapy Association, 2015).
