PY - 2012 T2 - Mobility in Context AB - Basic skills of patient care have served as the initial clinical course for untold numbers of physical therapy students over the years. In our teaching of this course, we have come to see a great opportunity, not only to teach students the techniques of caring for patients, but also to facilitate their growth as professionals in a world that will demand the highest levels of critical thinking and professional judgment. Our goal in creating this textbook has been to help shift the traditional mind-set of technique-driven patient care skills to an approach that is grounded in evidence, true to clinical reality, and easily accessible to students.
