GENERIC ABILITIESThe Physical Therapist Assistant Program faculty has determined that professional abilities areas important to the overall student’s success as the mastery of knowledge and skills in the area ofphysical therapy. Professional abilities are attributes and behaviors that are not necessarilyinherent to the profession’s core of knowledge but are required for success in the classroom, clinicand work place. The professional abilities determined to be generic to the field of physicaltherapy are:1. Commitment to Learning-applying new information and re-evaluating performance, readingarticles critically and understanding limits of application to professional practice, researchingand studying areas where knowledge base is lacking, accepting that there may be more thanone answer to a problem.2. Interpersonal Skills-approaching others to discuss differences in opinion, respondingeffectively to unexpected situations, talking about difficult issues with sensitivity andobjectivity, and delegating to others as needed.3. Communication Skills-modifying written and verbal communication to meet needs of variousaudiences, presenting verbal or written message with logical organization and sequencing,maintaining open and constructive communication and communicating professional needs andconcerns4. Effective Use of Time and Resources-using limited resources creatively, consideringprofessional program and course goals in the context of the assignment, demonstrating theability to say “no” if request made does not add to priorities, or if the activity is in conflictwith the set of goals, actively seeking resources to solve problems or answer questions.5. Use of Constructive Feedback-seeking feedback from others, modifying feedback given toothers according to their learning style, reconciling differences with sensitivity andconsidering multiple approaches when responding to feedback.6. Problem Solving-weighing advantages and disadvantages of solutions, participating inoutcome studies, contributing to formal quality assessment of program and seeking solutionsto community health related problems.7. Professionalism-participating in research and evidence based practice, participating actively inprofessional organizations, attending post-professional workshops, actively promoting theprofession through community service, acting in a leadership role when needed and supportingresearch.8.
