with external agencies and bodies are critical area of functioning of

the steering committee. The emerging trends in research, health care

and Physiotherapy require concerted effort of the members of the

body.

4. The Practice:

participation of all levels of faculty and departments. Though a

voluntary body, it has become an important organ at the

administrative level. It encompasses and evaluates both routine

and non routine initiatives of the department and the institute.

Regular meetings are conducted by the Principal. An

account of the various events, programs, functioning of various

departments, activities and institutional functioning is discussed

and deliberated.

The steering committee ensures standardization of the

academic activities to facilitate teaching learning process. It

issues faced by the patient and ensures that remedial measures are

implemented. It regularly collects the feedback from all the

stakeholders of the institution. It popularizes and reaches out

through the peripheral centre in spreading Physiotherapy to the

community and society.

gives an opportunity to the faculty to participate in important

decisions of the institution. It is a platform to develop and


130

BEST PRACTICE -II

Hierarchical clinical practice:

1. Title of the Practice:

Hierarchical clinical practice

2. Objectives of the Practice:

To train the students in case taking, case recording, case

analysis, patient care and to develop evidence based

treatment plan

Intended outcome:

Patient care

Learner care

Improvement in knowledge

Under the guidance of superior experts

3. The Context

Challenges:

The Hierarchical system in clinical practice is

developed because the students are from diverse culture &

linguistic backgrounds pose challenges in interaction with patients.

Also every student has different approach for patient care

which has to be carefully monitored. Large number of patient turn-

out makes monitoring difficult for single teacher/ HOD, thus

senior students are given responsibility to monitor and guide the

junior students.

Senior students are monitored and guided by the teachers/

HODs.

4. The Practice


5. Evidence of Success TheHierarchical clinical practice system has become a

routine practice which is included as an effective component in the

clinical schedule and training of the students and makes the

student more confidence in handling and treating patients. It

enables the students to function and establish an independent

consultation and practice. The students are exposed to wide variety

of case studies and their performances are reviewed through this

system. They developed entrepreneur skills which facilitate the

student to establish their own identity in the society.
