Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The answer to the question, "Is autonomous practice in neurologic physical therapy defined differently based on the type of practice setting?" is no. Autonomous practice is a characteristic of the physical therapist, embodying excellence, communication and collaboration, and advocacy and caring. It is our belief that many physical therapists already practice autonomously, even though they may not recognize their practice as being autonomous; and it is our hope that physical therapists who are functioning as autonomous practitioners will provide peer mentoring to help bring their colleagues to the same level of practice and the same recognition. The full position statement on autonomous practice is available on the Neurology Section Web site at http://www.neuropt.org/go/healthcareprofessionals/autonomous-practice. |
