Objective

This practical training combines everything learned during the earlier terms. This period is especially designed to deepen the skills and knowledge gained during Child, Adult and Aging People's Physiotherapy studies. The purpose is that the students will have the theoretical and practical competence required for wide-ranging work in the speciality chosen by them. They should be creative in solving unexpected problems. They will plan and apply appropriate physiotherapy tools to maintain and promote their clients'/patients' functional capacity. They will be responsible for evaluating and developing their own competence. They will also contribute to the practice and development of the work community.

Content

Students will actively contribute to the choice of the practical training placement. The placement can be situated outside the Seinäjoki Hospital District, if no suitable placement is available in this area or if the practical training period is essential for future employment.

Assessment criteria, approved/failed

Pass
Students return and pass their assignments on time. They manage the (group or individual) client situations assigned to them with help of theoretical knowledge they have learnt. Students attend to personal and patient safety. They know how to receive feedback and are mostly able to change their action accordingly. In their interaction they take other people into consideration.

Fail
Students are unable to justify their action with theoretical knowledge and their work is inconsistent. Their personal and patient safety may be jeopardised. Students avoid counselling situations, they do not make use of feedback and their study motivation is poor. Their interaction is clumsy and they fail to follow common rules. Students are engaged in other activities, which affects their studies. They fail to deliver some assignments and they are often absent.

Qualifications

No previous studies are required.
