A predominantly practical approach is taken in the delivery of this integrated course. The course builds on acquired knowledge from anatomy and kinesiology to introduce indispensable practical (subjective and objective) assessment with psychomotor and psycho-social skills.

It involves the practical application of assessment techniques of peripheral joints.
This course explores ethical problems that come up in the provision of healthcare from the perspective of the practitioner-client interaction to the larger social context. The course will draw from a variety of sources, including a) broad philosophical study of fundamental concepts (personhood, autonomy, authority, justice, good, right, and health); b) general philosophical perspectives (deontology, utilitarianism); and c) student professional education and clinical experience.
To accomplish this, the course will begin with a process of bioethical thought and discussion, assisting students in identifying and reflecting on their own values, as well as theoretical perspectives and bioethical principles that can aid in understanding ethical issues and problem solving.
As the course advances, particular healthcare domains where ethical issues could surface are examined. Examples include client/patient relationships with health care professionals, informed choice and substitute decision making, end-of-life care, public health, genetics, and research.
