The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of collaboration between physical therapists and other health care professionals. For this study, collaboration was defined as "working with other health care professionals to deliver patient care or make patient care decisions." Organizational theory, social exchange theory, and the literature on teams provided a theoretical basis from which collaboration was studied. Several models that provide a framework for developing collaborative teams in academic, research, or clinical environments were reviewed. A random sample of 2,000 licensed physical therapists from the state of California was invited to participate in this survey study. The instrument was created based on conceptual models of collaboration and established instruments used to measure collaboration among other health care professionals. Subjects were asked to report information about their clinical practice, their collaboration with other health care professionals, and their professional physical therapist education. Descriptive statistics were calculated, nonparametric tests were conducted, and qualitative data were tabulated and coded into thematic categories representing the rich, thick descriptions provided by respondents. Seven hundred sixty-one respondents (38.1%) participated by completing a mail survey. Respondent demographics, clinical practice information, and professional education variables are described. In general, results suggest that the relationships between the variables measured and level of collaboration are weak, even when statistically significant. Findings indicate that physical therapists collaborate most often with physicians, occupational therapists, and nurses, in that order. Physical therapists also collaborate frequently with advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, social workers, and speech and language pathologists. While many responses regarding both the benefits and challenges of collaboration were consistent with those identified in the literature, new themes were also identified. This study begins the process of documenting details surrounding the collaborative practices of physical therapists. Perhaps this data, when coupled with information about collaboration that occurs between other types of health care professionals, can be used to inspire further study. It is important that professionals in the academic and health care environments learn more about the outcomes of and specific factors that influence collaboration between health care professionals.

The Preparation for the Professions Program by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching focused on education in five professions (clergy, law, engineering, nursing, and medicine), but its influence has been felt throughout higher education and has inspired other professions to turn a critical eye to their own pedagogy. Modeled after the Carnegie Foundation’s example, Drs. Gail Jensen, Elizabeth Mostrom, Laurita Hack, Terrence Nordstrom, and Jan Gwyer began an examination of the state of physical therapist education in the United States in their study, Physical Therapist Education for the Twenty First Century (PTE-21): Innovation and Excellence in Physical Therapist Academic and Clinical Education. With the same team of authors, Educating Physical Therapists documents this examination, detailing the key findings of the study and expanding on its implications. The text begins by looking at the current state of physical therapist education across the continuum, from professional education through residency, then continues by describing exemplars of excellence and best practices that were observed in academic and clinical settings. Through this survey of the profession, a conceptual model of excellence in physical therapist education is derived and presented with practical recommendations. Areas addressed: Elements that promote a culture of excellence Critical needs for advancing learning and the learning sciences Academic and clinical organizational imperatives The critical need for system-based reform Finally, after looking at the current state of physical therapy education, Educating Physical Therapists looks to the future, providing a reimagined vision for what professional education and the profession could be. These recommendations for growth come with commentary by international experts in physical therapy education, providing a wide range of perspectives. After an intensive examination of physical therapist education, Educating Physical Therapists is designed to change the way educators and administrators across academic and clinical settings prepare physical therapists for the future. From the Foreword... "The authors of this volume have much to teach us, and they have taught us well. We can accept their recommendations, or we can argue with them. To ignore them is impossible." - Lee S. Shulman, PhD, President Emeritus, The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching

Clinical reasoning is an essential non-negotiable element for all health professionals. The ability of the health professional to demonstrate professional competence, compassion, and accountability depend on a foundation of sound clinical reasoning. The clinical reasoning process needs to bring together knowledge, experience, and understanding of people, the environment, and organizations along with a strong moral compass in making sound decisions and taking necessary actions. While clinical reasoning and the role of mentors has been a focus of the continued growth and development of residency programs in physical therapy, there is a critical need to have a broader, in-depth look at how educators across academic and clinical settings intentionally facilitate the development of clinical reasoning skills across one’s career. Clinical Reasoning and Decision Making in Physical Therapy: Facilitation, Assessment, and Implementation fills this need by providing a comprehensive and in-depth focus on development of the patient-client management skills of clinical reasoning and clinical decision-making. It takes into account teaching and learning strategies, assessment, and technological applications across the continuum from novice to residents/fellows-in-training, along with academic and clinical faculty for both entry-level and specialist practice. Drs. Gina Maria Musolino and Gail Jensen have designed this comprehensive resource with contributions from professional colleagues. The text centers on life-long learning by encouraging the development of clinical reasoning abilities from professional education through residency education. The aim and scope of the text is directed for physical therapy education, to enhance clinical reasoning and clinical decision-making for developing professionals and post-professionals in both clinical and academic realms, and for the development of clinical and academic faculty. Clinical Reasoning and Decision Making in Physical Therapy uniquely offers both evidence-based approaches and pragmatic consultation from award-winning authors with direct practice experiences developing and implementing clinical reasoning/clinical decision-making in practice applications for teaching students, residents, patients, and clinical/academic faculty in classrooms, clinics, and through simulation and telehealth. Clinical Reasoning and Decision Making in Physical Therapy is the first of its kind to address this foundational element for practice that is key for real-world practice and continuing competence as a health care professional. Physical therapy and physical therapist assistant students, faculty, and clinicians will find this to be an invaluable resource to enhance their clinical reasoning and decision making abilities.
