Department of Physical Therapy

Welcome from the Chair and Associate Chair It is our pleasure to present to you the 2008-09 annual report from the Department of Physical Therapy. We are proud of our accomplishments over the past year. Our Physical Therapy program continues to grow; this year we accepted 80 new students into the MScPT program and in June we proudly graduated 74 new Physical Therapists. Our faculty members continue to be at the forefront of research; this year they published 51 peer reviewed articles, 9 book chapters, a book and 127 abstracts/conference presentations. During the period of this report, our faculty members acquired approximately $2.5 million dollars in new funding from provincial, national and international agencies and the overall funding for our research programs approached $6.5 million dollars. We are also very proud of our research graduate students who acquired over $300,000 in awards and scholarships. This year we welcomed one new faculty member into the department; Dr. Margaret McNeely whose research interests are in the area of cancer rehabilitation and exercise. Her research to date has focused on upper limb dysfunction and cancer-related symptoms of pain, fatigue and lymphedema. Our department remains committed to life-long learning. The 2008 Reaching Forward Conference was more comprehensive and reached a larger audience than our previous annual conference. We also podcast a number of visiting scholar presentations to clinical facilities throughout the province. The accomplishments captured in this annual report are a tribute to the quality of our faculty, students and staff and demonstrate the innovation in research and education integral to the Department of Physical Therapy.

STRATEGIC INTENTIONS

2005—2010 Three key strategic intentions support the vision and mission of the Department of Physical Therapy as well as that of the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine and the University of Alberta. These strategic intentions will guide the work of the Physical Therapy Department over the years of 2005 – 2010 and establish the Department as an integral part of the University of Alberta as a transformative organization. These key strategic intentions include:

To attract, retain and nurture outstanding researchers and teachers. Our faculty members will be nationally and internationally recognized for their research and its application to the practice of physical therapy

To establish the department as a leading educational hub for evidenced

based physical therapy practice for students and clinicians

To be a leader in serving our external community through collaborative partnerships and physical therapy knowledge exchange

Clinical Education 2008-2009

The Department organized 495 placements for the 2008-2009 year for our students as well as for Canadian students at other Canadian Universities and International students. One UofA student travelled to Bangladesh to complete his final placement and students from Australia, The Netherlands and the United States were placed in Alberta.

We continue to have a large number of offers for our intermediate and senior students from both the public and private sectors. Novice clinical placements can be challenging to secure but we successfully placed all novice students. The Academic Coordinator of Clinical Education (ACCE) continues to build bridges with the clinical community; regular meetings are scheduled with site coordinators in the Edmonton and Calgary regions. In addition, ACCE undertook road trips to the northern and southern parts of the province to meet with clinicians and visit sites that host our students. Areas visited included Grande Prairie, Peace River, Fairview, Valleyview, Lethrbidge and Medicine Hat.

Corbett Hall Student Physical Therapy Clinic

The Corbett Hall Student Physical Therapy clinic is operated within the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine. Students in the MScPT program provide treatment and rehabilitation under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist. This non-profit clinic offers care to University of Alberta students and staff as well as the general public. In the past year, students have treated patients with musculoskeletal/orthopaedic and sport injury conditions. For the upcoming year, it is hoped that the student clinic will accommodate a wider variety of conditions. As the student clinic is offered as a selective ‘course’, the clinic is funded by student tuition and a ten dollar one-time fee is charged to cover clinic supplies. The clinic provides the opportunity for students to apply the content learned in the Physical Therapy program. As we further integrate the clinic selective into the MScPT program, we will continue to work with the University of the Sciences of Philadelphia which runs a successful student pro bono clinic. Info/Appt. Bookings: email: [email protected] or call (780) 492-5983 (Mon-Fri 8-4:30) for more information.

New Developments 2008-2009

Clinical Simulation Centre

The Clinical Simulation Centre is used mainly in acute care basic cardiorespiratory and advanced critical care courses. In the Clinical Simulation Centre, students are familiarized with equipment and then put through their paces in a safe learning environment. Simulation with both medium fidelity mannequins and standardised patients is used regularly. Basic and advanced skill practice (auscultation, vitals monitoring, suctioning) as well as real life scenarios develop students’ critical thinking skills. Scenarios include heart attack, shortness of breath and pulmonary embolus.

On the whole, the feedback from the courses is very encouraging; students seem to be able to apply concepts taught in class and get safe practice before being required to test their skills in the real world. “I thought this course was really helpful in reinforcing some concepts from the cardioresp class…I really enjoyed this class and I thought the scenarios were helpful”.
