The School had a great showing at this year’s APTA Combined Sections Meeting held
in Anaheim, CA February 18-20. Many of the 3rd year students took leave from their
final clinical experience and joined the nearly 11,000 others from the physical therapy
community to take part in the professional and social opportunities. The UMPT Saturday
evening social included a lively gathering of faculty, alumni and students. UMPT faculty,
students and alumni contributed significantly to the educational offerings with a number
of presentations, including the following:

STUDENT RUN Clinic
In 2008, a few Doctor of Physical Therapy students began seeing patients on a pro-bono
basis under the auspices of UMPT’s Student Run Clinic (SRC). Over the years, with a growing
appreciation of the number of Missoula citizens that lack access to needed physical therapy and
other health care services, the SRC expanded by providing rehabilitation and wellness services
with an emphasis on patient education and home programs. The Mission of the Student Run
Clinic is to provide a service learning opportunity for students while addressing the needs of the A few of the Student Run Clinic participants

uninsured and underinsured individuals in the Missoula community. Alyssa Schock and Jackie Schaus - class of 2016)
The UMPT Student Run Clinic utilizes an innovative model to provide quality care. To meet the
great need and to promote self-management, the frequency and duration of care is pre-arranged
in 3-week blocks, with each patient seen once per week by pairs of second and third year
PT students overseen by a licensed physical therapist. These students, supervised by Audrey
Elias, PT, PhD, deliver affordable treatments to people in the Missoula area. Typically, 12-16 DPT
students will provide care in the SRC each semester.

As of spring 2016, more than 300 patients have been seen in the Student Run Clinic since
its inception. Each new team of student administrators works to improve the clinic and its
programs. The SRC also provides an opportunity for interprofessional education. PT students

UMPT CLINIC = EXCELLENCE IN MOTION
By Sue Ostertag, PT, DPT, NCS – Director, UMPT Clinic

EXCELLENCE…it’s a word heard frequently on campus and throughout our profession. This word kept coming up
in my thoughts and in the discussions I have had with colleagues, students and patients when I
began the process of developing a “brand” for the UMPT Clinic, a task I was charged with this year.
How difficult, I thought, to come up with a phrase or a logo or a few words that can capture all we
do, represent, strive for and accomplish through the UMPT Clinic. But then it became very clear
to me while on a recent road trip over the mountains to Great Falls that the UMPT Clinic is indeed
EXCELLENCE IN MOTION.

EXCELLENCE in patient care…provided by our Clinical Faculty and our students using the best available evidence
balanced with patient preferences and clinical experience to obtain outstanding patient outcomes.

EXCELLENCE in customer service….thanks to our Billing Manager Sharon Johnson, the Front Desk/Clinic
Manager Ken Thompson, and our New Directions Gym Coordinator Molly Blair.

EXCELLENCE in DPT student instruction....guided and facilitated by the Clinical Faculty and patients
themselves as we provide a clinical site for each class of DPT students in the 2nd year spring
and 3rd year fall semesters.

EXCELLENCE in movement…representing the vision of the APTA and profession for physical therapists
to be identified as Movement Specialists as evidenced by the use of observation skills, new
technology, research labs and collaborative efforts with our campus and Missoula colleagues.

EXCELLENCE in interprofessional education…hosting interdisciplinary internships and experiences for other
professional and undergraduate level students. This fall Torrye Hart, an MSW student, begins a practicum experience that will
continue through spring semester, working primarily with clients of the New Directions Gym and the Student Run Pro Clinic
through the UMPT Clinic. Pharmacy students and faculty assist with patient care and education by providing consultations
to our patients and gym clients. Undergraduate students from across campus continue to work, volunteer, and obtain formal
internship experience through New
Directions Gym and the UMPT Clinic.

EXCELLENCE in MOTION….
putting the practice of excellence and all that it represents
into the patient outcomes and experiential learning
promoted through the UMPT Clinic.

As always, I welcome any questions and conversations

about the clinical services and clinical education that we
provide through the UMPT Clinic and New Directions Gym.

UMPT’s Clinical Education team consists of Jenn Bell, PT, ScD, COMT - Associate
Director of Clinical Education; Kim Mize-Humphrey, PT, DPT, Assistant Director of
Clinical Education; Heather Mincey, Administrative Associate for Clinical Education;
Dave Levison, PT, MHS, Director of Clinical Education, and of course all our wonderful
clinical instructors.

We are thankful for our current and past clinical instructors who selflessly offered their
time and expertise to mentor UMPT students. It is very important work. The clinical
education of physical therapists is also challenging work. There are a lot of dynamic
issues that impact the ability to provide the number and quality of clinical experiences
that students need. Our clinical education team here at UMPT recognizes this and has

decreased the number of full-time clinical experiences from 4 to 3. This 25% reduction
in the number of clinical placements should take some pressure off clinical sites. This
also reduces the cost and hassle to students as they do not have to plan and pay for the
travel and living arrangements associated with an out-of-town placement.

We are able to reduce our full-time clinical experiences to 3 by increasing the clinical
hours students spend in our clinics on campus. The additional integrated clinical
experiences that are replacing the full-time experience that was eliminated utilize
the 2:1 (students to CI) collaborative model and occur during the spring semester of
the 2nd year and fall semester of the 3rd year. These integrated clinical experiences
are designed to result in better learning and improved preparation for when students
engage in their last 2 full-time clinicals.

We also listened to our students and CIs who have been asking for a clinical education

are now using the Student Assessment and Feedback Tool, otherwise known as the
SAF-T. The results from surveys of CIs and students have been extremely positive and
were presented at APTA’s Combined Sections Meeting this past year. Currently, the
SAF-T comes in a word document format. There are plans in the works to have the tool
converted to a web-based platform to make it even more efficient for the user.

patients in the clinic and wards with the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year Gondar PT students. The
program at the University of Gondar is a 4-year bachelor’s program. UMPT students were able
to learn how to cast children with clubfoot and worked with many very complex patients
including numerous patients who had sustained gunshot wounds, children with microcephaly,
and complex neurological injuries. The students were also challenged by the limited resources
available to the patients in the clinical setting as well as in the community. Dr. Bell lectured
to the University of Gondar 3rd and 4th year students. She gave two lectures on HIV and Group visit to a local school to observe special needs

special needs children are integrated into the classrooms. They also explored how Community-
Based Rehabilitation works to improve the inclusion of children and adults with disabilities
in schools, the health care system and community. The group was able to make many home
visits and trips to see various levels of health centers (from one room health extension sites to a
500-bed referral hospital), and learn how people in rural villages and larger cities access care.
Being immersed in the local culture, the students and faculty were able to better understand
the complex relationship between poverty, wellness, and religion in Ethiopia and how that
drives the way people seek care from traditional healers, priests, and health care providers.
It was a great opportunity for the students to learn from other students, health care providers Carmen Luke,
and faculty. Overall, the trip helped to further establish opportunities for ongoing collaborations PT student,

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR

JAMES LASKIN
LAOS
From March 12th through April 4th, 2016, James Laskin was part of
a Montana delegation engaged in a US State Department-sponsored
sport diplomacy initiative in Laos. This adventure, SportsUnited: 2016
Sports Programming Initiative for Laos, was the result of a successful 2nd year class of the BS PT program, Dept. of Physical
grant submission by the Mansfield Center at UM. The initiative included Therapy at Lao National University. Very limited and
sparse facilities, 1 faculty member for 100 students!
putting together a 6-person team from Missoula and coordinating plans with Laotian partners.

Though greatly separated by distance, Montana and Laos have a surprising number of
commonalities. Both share mostly rugged mountainous terrain, are landlocked, and are
relatively isolated. Companion industries include agriculture, timber, forestry, electricity
generation, and mining. Both have environmental concerns related to water, deforestation,
eco-tourism, and recycling. Each is home to significant communities of Native peoples. One
thing unique about Laos is that it is the most heavily bombed country, per capita, in history.
From 1964-1973, the U.S. conducted massive aerial bombardment in Laos to disrupt North
Vietnamese supply routes, dropping more than two million tons of bombs. An estimated 30%
failed to explode, resulting in the world’s largest contamination from unexploded ordinances.
Villagers are regularly injured by accidental contact; 40% of those disabled are youth.
Bocce was used as an activity to demonstrate issues
The team’s primary activity was conducting two “train the trainers” workshops, one in the of disability, empathy and adaptation of activities for
capital city of Vientiane and the other in the rural province of Phonsavan. These workshops people with disabilities. Host participants, including
Buddhist monks, “experienced” a disability: visual
involved teaming up with representatives of 20 different national and local partner groups field deficit, wheelchair users & a single leg amputee.
whose focus included: disability inclusion, youth empowerment, gender equality, women’s
rights, and healthy aging. Dr. Laskin’s specific role was to introduce concepts of empathy towards disability and the implementation and adaptations
of games and activities for people with disability.

James reports that though he already had a strong affinity for Southeast Asia and its people, this trip strengthened his bond and led to the creation
of a proposal for a full year sabbatical based in Bangkok.

UM’s Transitional DPT Program adds New Faculty & Two Certificate Programs
The transitional Doctor of Physical Therapy program continues to prosper as we look forward to starting the 17th cohort this Fall. In partnership with
Rehab Essentials, the program brings together the content experts within their respective field and allows professionals to gain the skills required
to advance to the doctoring level while still maintaining a work/life/education balance. We are excited to announce that Dr. Joan Mountain-Elliott,
of Marymount University, and Dr. Laurie King, of Oregon Health & Science University, have joined the tDPT programs' faculty. Along with these
two integral professionals, the curriculum is also updating courses for this Fall including: Screening for Medical Disorders (by Dr. Bill Boissonnault),
Medical Imaging (by Dr. Lynn McKinnis), and Coding and Reimbursement (by Helene Fearon).

As physical therapists compete for healthcare dollars, we have added two key certificate programs to help PTs and healthcare practitioners prosper.
The Certificate Program in Allied Health Administration (CPAHA) adds to the tDPT program by focusing on value-based services and leadership roles
that PTs need to display as they encounter business decisions in their daily practice. The CPAHA is now in its third cohort, which can be added to
the tDPT program or taken as a stand-alone certificate. New this Fall is the Health-Focused Lifestyle Intervention Certificate. Reducing the costs of
managing chronic disease has become a prime directive for most communities. This time-efficient, cost effective program will provide healthcare
professionals with the necessary knowledge and background to become a key player in designing and implementing solutions in the community.
This is a six course, 12 credit curriculum delivered on-line over the course of three semesters. The final course is a three day onsite just outside
Washington, D.C. occurring at the end of the third semester. For more information – please view our website - http://umt.rehabessentials.com/
