Course Content
This course aims to develop students'ability to assess a case and identify its problems, to list and group case-related problems, and to design treatment programs aimed at solving these problems in the short and long term. It also contributes to the development of group work, cooperation, division of labor, and a shared perspective, as well as appropriate behaviors and attitudes. In addition, the course enhances students'skills in researching library- and web-based resources, accessing information effectively, and gaining and improving presentation and communication skills.
Objectives of the Course
Group work on assessing and analyzing and analyzing the problems of a healthy or patient population in physiotherapy and rehabilitation, integrating the knowledge gained during the four years undergraduate education through problem-based training, improving the literature search and presentation skills.
