Sarasota’s Physical Therapy Assistant program held a joint lab between two of their cohorts to prepare students who are beginning their long-term clinical internships soon. The goal was to complete case scenarios that reflected true patient conditions and situations. The students who were the “patients” acted out their symptoms based upon the given case. The “therapists” had to explain all treatments, take necessary tests, treat appropriately, and monitor patient’s feedback.
