Clinical practice
(objectives)
The internship is the irreplaceable way of learning the theoretical-practical skills of the Physiotherapist: it is through the application of theoretical knowledge in a real context that the student can gradually learn specific professional skills. At the end of the third year of the course, the student must be able to independently conduct the functional assessment of the patient, identifying, through clinical reasoning and on the basis of the data collected, the person's needs related to the degree of disability, the pathology and the rehabilitation prognosis. It will also have to define the Individual Rehabilitation Program (PRI) by determining the objectives and treatment times and carry out the planned interventions according to the main rehabilitation methods in the various specialist areas (orthopaedic, neurological, pediatric, cardiological, respiratory and urological), without neglecting the the importance of managing the relationship with the patient and the caregiver. He will also be able to train the patient in the use of assistive technologies (prostheses and aids), evaluate short, medium and long-term outcomes and guide the patient in reintegrating into daily life activities. The student will also learn the organizational model, the operational mechanisms and the skills of the professionals who operate within the rehabilitation facilities where the internship takes place.
