1 SUBJECT: SAMPLE OUTCOMES-BASED CURRICULUM FOR THE BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN PHYSICAL THERAPY EDUCATION Program Description Degree Name ARTICLE I PROGRAM SPECIFICATIONS Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy Course Code: Nature of the Field of Study The Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy is a five-year degree program consisting of general education and professional courses. The fifth year level is the internship program that involves assigning students to different CHED accredited affiliation centers that cater to various patient/client populations for a minimum of 1500 hours. The intern/student, during the course of the training, must have exposure to a variety of training opportunities that will prepare them for the different roles expected of them upon graduation. HEIs may provide a minimum of 1100 hours of clinical experiences which include patient/client evaluation and management from different populations, including but not limited to: neurological, musculoskeletal, pulmonary, cardiovascular, integumentary, pediatric, geriatrics, well population and community-based rehabilitation. The remaining 400 hours may be used to provide training opportunities in a combination of other roles. Program Goals The BSPT program aims to produce physical therapists who are competent to fulfill professional responsibilities in the following areas: patient/client care in various settings for different populations, education for patients/clients and physical therapy students in professional courses, administration and management of physical therapy programs, institutions and facilities, lifelong learning for the development of the professional, health promotion, advocacy for the advancement of the profession, community service and development, and research.

15 Sample Curriculum Map This section provides an example of how to thread the identified program outcomes through the different courses in the curriculum. This should guide the development of the expected outcomes at different points within the program to ensure that the HEI is on-track in achieving the expected program outcomes. Similarly, the HEI should be able to thread the institutional outcomes across relevant courses in the curriculum. The HEIs should not be limited to the competency levels indicated in this sample curriculum map, but are highly encouraged to determine the competency levels appropriate to their institutional outcomes and capacities. Key Legends for Competency Levels: I Introduced: Basic concepts are merely introduced; concepts, beginning skills taught (skills laboratory) P Practiced: The concepts and principles are presented with applications; actual case, skills lab, actual exposure (with supervision) D Demonstrated: I + P with skills acquisition; actual patient care including clinical scenarios, with minimal or no supervision Page 15 of 41
