Clinical Residency
101: Getting started and doing it right
 Course
Description: This workshop will provide the tools
needed for potential sites to develop and implement a successful
post-professional clinical residency or fellowship program
that meets the criteria for APTA credentialing. Questions

should consider hosting a residency/fellowship? What
are the benefits of becoming a credentialed program? How
do I get my administration to buy into the concept? How
can I make it cost effective? What are the nuts and
bolts of preparing an application to APTA for credentialing? How

The Globalization of Physical Therapy During
War: Spectrum of Care Across Different Levels of Medical Care,
Settings, Ages, Cultures, and Disciplines
- 8:00 am - 11:00 am (Joint Program; All
Sections)
- Moderator: MAJ Peter Glover, PT,
Newark, DE
- Speakers: Jill Black Lattanzi,
PT, EdD, Lewes, DE; Heather Lynn Malecki, PT, Lorton, VA;
LTC Josef H Moore, PT, PhD, SCS, ECS, OCS, ATC, United

SCS, US Army Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington,

Los Angeles, CA
- Description: Physical Therapists are in
an environment where they are responsible for making functional
diagnostic decisions that will determine if an individual
is able to stay on the job / on the battlefield or sent to
a different or higher level of care. In many cases,
physical therapists are the primary entry of care for injury
or dysfunction, working directly with other medical specialties
to determine appropriate surgical, medical, and rehabilitation
interventions. The physical therapist may also be the
primary consultant to a supervisor, or in the military setting,
the commander on physical strength, endurance, core stability,
and agility. Internationally during war, physical therapists
are working with patients with poly-trauma injuries that
may include: traumatic brain injuries, limb amputations,
cardio-vascular compromise, etc. These diagnoses
may result in life-long conditions that will be treated by
physical therapists at different intervals of life. Upon
completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Attendees will be able to demonstrate
the diagnostic decisions to evaluate if an injured person
is able to return to activities of work and daily living.
- Attendees will have an overview understanding
of rehabilitation from point of injury on the battlefield
back to full recovery and return to the battlefield and
the long term rehabilitation needs after poly-trauma injury.
- Attendees will develop a global understanding
of the needs of rehabilitation in countries that do not
have formal rehabilitation and have suffered from the effects
of war.
- Attendees will be able to demonstrate
understanding of the clinical skills needed to provide
physical therapy care as the primary entry point after
injury or dysfunction.
- Attendees will have a further understanding
of the knowledge required as the primary consultant for
the physical strength, endurance, core stability, and agility
for a group of people that perform physical skills as part
of their work and recreation.
- Attendees will understand the changes
in a large medical system to promote physical therapy as
a preferred provider for non-surgical interventions for
musculoskeletal injuries and impairment.

- Polypharmacy and Functional Adverse
Effects in the Geriatric Population
- 9:00 pm - 11:00 am
- Speakers: Peter C Panus,
PT, PhD, East Tennessee State University, Johnson
City, TN; Suzanne L Tinsley, PT, PhD, Louisiana
State University, Benton, LA
- Description: The geriatric population
is prescribed a greater number of drugs compared
with other sectors of the population. This may be
due to the larger number of coexisting pathophysiologies
in this population but as such drug-associated adverse
events range from 5-35% in the older adult. As the
physical therapy profession progresses toward independent
practice, the therapist must increase their understanding
of how pharmacotherapeutics impact function. By having
a comprehensive understanding of adverse drug effects,
the therapist will be able to make changes in the
rehabilitation program and recognize the need for
referrals. Utilizing case studies and reviewing the
ICF disablement model, this presentation will address
changes that will present in the geriatric population
as a result of adverse drug reactions.
- Upon completion of this course, you will
be able to:
- Describe the major drug classes prescribed
to geriatric populations.
- Summarize the major adverse effects associated
with each of these drug classes.
- Generalize which major drug classes have
the same adverse effects that augment each
other.
- Review the current ICF model of disability.
- Describe how these adverse drug effects present
as functional deficits in the geriatric patient
using the ICF model of disability as a framework.
