PHYT 610- Introduction to the Profession Projects:
There are 3 projects you will be responsible for throughout your UD DPT educational
training in order to successfully complete this course. Due dates for each component are
listed below. You are responsible to have the completed project turned into me before or
on the specified due date.
Values, Ethics and Standards of Practice Project- August 30, 2013
The purpose of this project is to demonstrate your understanding of the APTA Core
Values, Code of Ethics and Guide for Professional Conduct and Standards of Practice for
Physical Therapy.
Please fill in a table of the APTA Core Values and include an example of an observation
of a therapist’s demonstration of each in a clinical setting and an example of your
personal behavior that demonstrates your incorporation of the core values in your
professional development.

Accountability
Code of Ethics and Guide for Professional Conduct
Provide written reflection of 4 ethical issues observed in the clinical environment.
Identify the principle involved in the situation and the challenges raised in the situation
and the outcome. Identify an alternative solution to the dilemma that could have been
considered. Provide a self-reflection of 2 ethical situations in which you made a
mistake or considered a less than optimal action plan. Identify under which ethical
principle the challenge occurred, the mistake/error you made, and corrective action
incorporated to ameliorate any negative effects of a poor decision. If not explicitly clear
in your reflection, identify any preventative action that you plan to employ to prevent
these challenges in the future.
Standards of Practice
For each of the 6 components of the APTA Standards of Practice- identify a positive
(model) and negative (poor) example of each encountered on a clinical internship. The
positive example would be something you would consider reproducing in your career and
the negative example is one you would avoid in your own clinical practice.

Professional Portfolio Project: Due Dec 1, 2013
The purpose of this project is to provide you an opportunity to formulate a strategy for
ensuring growth in the profession. This requires self-assessment(i.e. Reflection,
Professionalism self assessment(provided as a resource in this class), Generic abilities,
Clinic feedback sheets, CPI and New England Clinic Eval) and collection and synthesis
of feedback from academic and clinical faculty [i.e. Generic abilities, CPI, New England
Clinic eval form, lab practical feedback, advice, etc.]
Using the APTA publication:
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, LIFELONG LEARNING, AND CONTINUED COMPETENCE IN PHYSICAL THERAPY HOD P05-07-14-14(Program
65) [Position]
Identify your plan for professional development, lifelong learning and continued
competence in physical therapy. Identify 4 areas in which you have collected
information (at least 2 from other professional sources such as CI’s, faculty) that
provided you insight into areas of focus for development. Identify the information
received, how you interpreted the info, and the action plan you developed in response.
Describe how the major assumptions in HOD P05-07-14-14 will be tackled in your first 3
years of practice. Then provide the plan you have developed and method of assessment
you will use to determine if you are successfully accomplishing the 6 major opportunities
described in the “Description of Professional Development” section of HOD P05-07-1414.

A: All components of the project are present and the student’s responses demonstrate and
understanding of the principles (90% or greater).
B: Less than 20 % of the components are missing and the student’s responses demonstrate an
understanding of the principles OR all components of the project are present but 75%- 89% of the
evidence demonstrates understanding of principles. (If both Present- grade = C)
C: 20%-30% of the components are missing OR 60%-74% of the evidence demonstrates
understanding of principles (If both present, grade = D)
