    A new problem-solving method enhances clinical learning for first-year physical therapy students. This method involves clinicians presenting patient cases to guide students through problem identification and treatment planning.

    Area of Science:

    • Physical Therapy Education
    • Clinical Reasoning
    • Problem-Based Learning

    Background:

    • Traditional clinical education models may not fully prepare physical therapy students for real-world patient care.
    • There is a need for structured, problem-solving approaches in early clinical experiences.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a problem-solving method for clinical learning experiences for first-year physical therapy students.
    • To assess the effectiveness of clinician-led, patient-centered problem-solving rotations.

    Main Methods:

    • A problem-solving method was implemented over a two-quarter period.
    • Clinicians presented patient cases (disease/disability) in two-hour sessions.
    • Seven groups of 10 students participated weekly, engaging in problem identification, goal setting, and treatment discussion.

    Main Results:

    • The method facilitated active student engagement in clinical problem-solving.
    • Clinicians guided students through identifying patient problems and developing treatment strategies.
    • Both challenges and positive outcomes were identified during the clinical experiences.

    Conclusions:

    • The problem-solving approach provides valuable clinical learning experiences for early-stage physical therapy students.
    • This method effectively integrates didactic learning with practical application in patient care scenarios.
    • Further exploration of challenges and benefits can refine clinical education strategies.
