The program comprises three areas of clinical specialty in physical therapy practice, designed to meet criteria recommended by the American Physical Therapy Association. The clinical specialty in Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy, offered for the first time in the fall of 1980, is to be augmented with the introduction of a Neurological Physical Therapy specialty in the fall of 1982 and an Orthopedic Physical Therapy speciality in the fall of 1984. The student specializing in Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy will have the opportunity to develop a clinical expertise in the evaluation, treatment, and prevention of medical and surgical cardiopulmonary conditions. Eight quarter hours in cardiovascular health and exercise and sixteen quarter hours in cardiopulmonary physical therapy courses are required of all students in this specialization area. In addition, or one year of clinical practice in cardiopulmonary physical therapy is prerequisite for cer tain courses. To help prepare for more diversified positions in the health care, setting, students should satisfy remaining credit requirements by selecting additional coursework in one of the areas of research, education administration, or clinical specialization.
