Current Teaching Responsibilities in the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences
Flexible Doctor of Physical Therapy Program:
Contributing Faculty: HSC5351 Pharmacology. This course provides Physical Therapy
students with the general concepts of pharmacology as applicable to clinical practice. It
describes classes of drugs commonly used by patients treated by therapists. These
descriptions include: a) clinical uses, b) therapeutics effects and mechanisms, c) side
effects, and contraindications. The effects of exercise, aging and other factors on
pharmacodynamics are also included when relevant to clinical practice.
Current Teaching Responsibilities in the Touro College Entry-Level Doctor of Physical
Therapy Program:
Course assistant for DPT 613: Neuromuscular System Evaluation and Management I
course in Entry Level DPT program. Course Description: Instruct PT student in evaluating
23
and treating the patient with a neurological dysfunction. The physical therapist performs
an examination, evaluates the result of the examination, formulates a physical therapy
diagnosis, determines the prognosis, develops a plan of care and performs interventions
that lead to enhancement of function. Via lecture, group activity, literature search and
laboratory practice, the student will learn the theories and applications of these processes.
Course assistant for DPT 618: PT Interventions I course in Entry Level DPT program.
Course Description: Physical Therapy Interventions I is a clinical course designed to
introduce the physical therapy student to common physical therapy interventions. The
student will participate in interactive learning activities that will guide the development of
proficiency in basic physical therapy interventions. Through lecture, laboratory, role
playing, and group problem solving the student will learn to use critical thinking to
analyze the problem presented, synthesize the solution, and communicate this sequence
with other health professionals and patients or clients.
Current Teaching Responsibilities in the Touro College Post-Professional Doctor of
Physical Therapy Program:
Adjunct Professor for DPT 744: Documentation Essentials for Physical Therapists. This
course focuses on documentation as it relates to justifying care provision and
demonstrating conformance with federal law and regulation. The Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued final rules related to objective testing
requirements in home health and outpatient therapy practice settings which will be
explored and defined. The practicing clinician must be knowledgeable of the regulations
under which they are practicing and this course will inform therapist how to navigate the
regulations and review the regulations as written in the federal register. Documentation to
support care provision requires evidence of medical need, reasonable and necessary and
interventions inherently complex that only a therapist can provide.
Adjunct Professor for DPT 797: Geriatric Rehabilitation. This course presents age-related
changes and diseases conditions affecting both the neuromuscular and metabolic systems.
The student will participate in interactive learning activities that will guide the
development of proficiency in geriatric physical therapy assessment and intervention.
Through lecture, laboratory, role playing, and group problem solving the student will learn
to use critical thinking to analyze the problem presented, synthesize the solution, and
communicate this sequence with other health professionals and patients or clients.
Problems introduced are representative of those that clinicians encounter in all practice
settings.
Adjunct Professor for DPT 779: Geriatric Physical Therapy Practice: Assessment and
Treatment for the aging Cardiopulmonary and Musculoskeletal systems. Course
Description: This course presents age-related changes and diseases conditions affecting
both the musculoskeletal and cardiopulmonary systems. Medical (pharmacological and
surgical intervention) and non-pharmacological (physical therapy intervention) will be
discussed. The updated BEERS list (2012) for potentially inappropriate medications with
the geriatric population will be used to assist the student identify intended/unintended
24
medication effects. The student will participate in interactive learning activities that will
guide the development of proficiency in geriatric physical therapy assessment and
intervention. Through lecture, laboratory, role playing, and group problem solving the
student will learn to use critical thinking to analyze the problem presented, synthesize the
solution, and communicate this sequence with other health professionals and patients or
clients. Problems introduced are representative of those that clinicians encounter in all
practice settings.
