Content

This course consists of two components: Professional Development 3 and Ageing & Concepts. 

During this period, the student further develops their professional identity. 
The student learns to provide high-quality client care in an honest, sincere, and engaged manner. They take responsibility for their actions and carefully maintain a balance between personal and professional roles. The student is open to feedback, acts transparently, and operates with a correct professional attitude. This is documented through a reflection report. 

In addition, the student learns to present a well-supported position related to Ageing & Concepts, lifespan psychology, ethics, gender diversity, or limited health literacy in physiotherapeutic care. The position must be clear and relevant and is presented using an infographic. 
Furthermore, the student learns to debate an ethical dilemma/case from practice. 

The student develops skills in critical thinking, reasoning, communication, listening, collaboration, problem-solving, research, and perspective-taking. These are essential skills for physiotherapists to effectively communicate and work with other healthcare professionals.
