WORK ASSIGNMENT: An Instructor is required to assist in the teaching of the Musculoskeletal components of PHYT 5105 (Musculoskeletal PT Practice) and PHYT 6108 (Integrated Practice) from January 07, 2013 to May 24, 2013.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The modules are delivered through collaborative team teaching using didactic, self-directed, small group case-oriented problems, and lab sessions. The MSK components in the above modules provide students with an understanding of the core knowledge of the science and tools of orthopedic physiotherapy, including MSK tissue science issues, clinical reasoning, population health, and the development of musculoskeletal examination (subjective, objective), treatment and communication skills.

Throughout the modules, students practice prospective clinical reasoning using a two stage hypotheticodeductive method where the initial subjective patient history and physiotherapy observation skills are applied to develop primary and secondary differential diagnoses and the patient examination is applied to confirm or disprove each diagnosis and arrive at a primary physiotherapy diagnosis. Students learn to direct treatment at the specific primary physiotherapy diagnosis, assess patient progress regularly using outcome measures recognized as best practice, document relevant subjective/objective information obtained from the patient using effective communication skills and convey appropriate information to clients, peers, and insurers.

REQUIREMENTS OF POSITION: Preferred candidate will have an advanced Master鈥檚 degree and/or clinical specialization in orthopaedics, and be licensed to practice physiotherapy. Applicants must have a strong grasp of the subject matter, strong communication skills and have experience teaching graduate students.
