Ethical Decision-Making in Physical Therapy |
CASE 11You have a student who is on the last affiliation and has been at your outpatient clinic for two weeks and all seems to be going well. You are the owner of the clinic and the only physical therapist. You have a reputation for being very good to patients, and for giving them quality care. The student has told you that she feels very comfortable at your clinic. You have a dental appointment at 1:00 pm, and you believe that the student can handle the few patients who are scheduled that afternoon since she has treated all of them previously. You tell the student that you will return to the clinic about 4:30 pm. Is there a problem?Can you imagine this happening?What does the law say about supervision of students?
