This course is designed to provide a fundamental understanding of kinesiology and anatomy from a clinical perspective, to include the anatomical basis of common pathological conditions seen in physical therapy and occupational therapy. Instruction is reinforced with hands-on activity labs and practical experiences. Students continue to explore the principles and practices of therapists learned in the Physical/Occupational Therapy I class and participate in clinical observation under the direct supervision of a licensed physical and/or occupational therapist or assistant. Clinical skills in the areas of physical therapy and occupational therapy enable students to gain understanding of rehabilitative care, which is practiced throughout the continuum of care and across the life span of individuals. After the successful completion of this course, students may seek higher education for specific degrees or licensure in a variety of fields such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, sports medicine, athletic training, chiropractic medicine, or exercise science.

Contextual instruction and student participation in co-curricular career and technical student organization (CTSO) activities will develop leadership, interpersonal, and career skills. High-quality work-based learning (HQWBL) will provide experiential learning opportunities related to students' career goals and/or interests, integrated with instruction, and performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations.
