Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II01:18

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care. Here are a few more healthcare professionals.
Physical Therapist
A physical therapist (PT) aims to restore function or prevent additional impairment in a patient following an injury or disease. Massage, heat, cold, water, sonar waves, exercises, and electrical stimulation are some treatments used by PTs to treat...
Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in situations...
The Professional Nurse01:22

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.
Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II01:18

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results from...

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.
Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation01:24

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...

Area of Science:

  • Physical Therapy Education
  • Medical Education
  • Health Professions Education

Background:

  • Competency-based education (CBE) and entrustable professional activities (EPAs) are increasingly emphasized for learner outcomes and clinical readiness.
  • Few physical therapist education programs have implemented these frameworks.
  • A hybrid Doctor of Physical Therapy program developed a Competency- and Entrustment-Based Education (CEBE) model to prepare workforce-ready graduates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development of a Competency- and Entrustment-Based Education (CEBE) model.
  • To operationalize CBE and EPAs in a physical therapist education program.
  • To prepare graduates for entry-level practice.

Main Methods:

  • A collaborative curriculum design process involving 13 faculty members.
  • Utilized backward design and 8 guiding educational principles (e.g., case-based learning, academic coaching, flipped classrooms).
  • Defined 7 Domains of Competence (DOCs) and 10 EPAs, with distinct assessment scales for competence and entrustment.

Main Results:

  • Faculty and 52 external clinicians validated the CEBE framework via Likert-style surveys.
  • Most DOCs and EPAs demonstrated strong agreement and perceived relevance to entry-level practice.
  • Stakeholder feedback led to revisions, including adjustments to EPAs within specific domains.

Conclusions:

  • The CEBE model provides a feasible, learner-centered approach to developing and assessing competence and entrustment.
  • The model promotes learner autonomy and aligns with clinical standards and health system needs.
  • Implementation lessons can inform broader adoption of CBE and EPA frameworks in physical therapy education.
