Educating Physical Therapists

Educating Physical Therapists, 1st Edition, examines contemporary instruction and clinical training across academic and clinical settings. The textbook is designed to assist faculty, clinical educators, and administrators who prepare future physical therapists for professional practice.

The volume investigates physical therapy education across every stage of training, from initial professional coursework through clinical residency. Drawing on a comprehensive national study, the text presents a conceptual model of excellence and provides practical guidance informed by observed best practices in classrooms and clinics.

Alongside institutional evaluations, the work incorporates reflective commentary and recommendations from international specialists in physical therapy education. A foreword by Lee S. Shulman, President Emeritus of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, introduces the study and its educational framework.
