A method of developing and evaluating a clinical performance program for physical therapy interns.

A method used by interns and supervisors in developing and evaluating a clinical performance program during a 6-week internship in the Division of Physical Therapy at the University of Michigan Medical Center is presented. This method required a statement of educational resources available, establishment of criteria for judging acceptable performance, statement by the intern of his educational objectives, negotiation of a written contract, and maintenance of a log. The 32 participants thought that this was a rational and acceptable program and stated that they would, if given a choice, elect to follow the same procedure again.

Clinical Competence

Comparison of opinions, attitudes, and interests of physical therapy students with other students at the University of Michigan.

Scores on the Opinion, Attitude, and Interest Survey made by freshmen who later successfully completed work in the Physical Therapy Curriculum at the University of Michigan were compared with scores of eighteen other freshmen groups at the university. Physical therapy students ranked highest on the Biological Science Interest, Social Adjustment, and Emotional Adjustment scales, and lowest on the Infrequent Response, Social Undesirability, and Creative Personality scales. The conclusion was that freshmen who later completed work in the Physical Therapy Curriculum exhibited different opinions, attitudes, and interests than did other freshmen at the university.
