Advanced Seminar in Orthopedics
Course Overview:
Students, who want to build on the content from the required Orthopedic courses, may elect this course during the last semester of the DPT curriculum. This course explores advanced topics and skills in the area of orthopedic physical therapy that will provide the student with beyond entry-level skills and prepare them for clinical challenges ahead.
Course Description:
This course is firmly rooted in the evidence-base with exploration of advanced topics and skills in the area of orthopedic physical therapy combined with experience in the orthopedic clinics at Columbia University Medical Center. Students will take part in interactive discussion of current research that supports the application of advanced skills including a variety of osteopathic techniques learned and practiced in the class. Students will also have the opportunity to shape the content of the course by selecting an area of particular interest for them to present and teach. Previous course work emphasizing kinesiology, biomechanics, therapeutic exercise, and orthopedics will be integrated with emerging evidence and advanced techniques in the examination, evaluation, intervention, and prognosis of a variety of orthopedic conditions.

Internship
Note: Beginning with the entering class of Fall 2025, all MIA and MPA SIPA students are required to register for SIPA IA9015 to fulfill the School’s internship requirement. This course carries no academic credit and is intended to formally record completion of the internship component of the degree program.
the internship experience is a vital component of a SIPA education, providing students with opportunities to apply their classroom learning to real-world challenges, develop professional skills, and expand their networks. The Career Advancement Center supports students throughout this process with dedicated advising, access to a wide range of internship opportunities, and professional development resources to ensure each internship contributes meaningfully to their career goals.

Advanced Seminar in Adult Neurorehabilit
Adv Sem Adult Neurorehab
Students who want to build on the content from the required Adult Neurorehabilitation courses may elect this course during the last semester of the DPT curriculum. Students are exposed to a variety of clients in different settings and allowed to further develop their clinical reasoning skills, hone their evidence-based examination and therapeutic interventions, and verify the psychosocial impact of disability. This is a problem-solving case-based course that promotes the synthesis of evidence from the neurological and movement science literature in order to critically evaluate current trends in the examination, evaluation, diagnosis, intervention, and prognosis of a variety of neurological conditions. Clinical reasoning is promoted through three pathways: 1) observation and participation in a variety of health care practice settings (e.g. home care, hospitals, outpatient departments); 2) understanding societal needs; and 3) appreciating the prevailing legislative environment. Students develop an evidence-based paper formulated to serve as a resource for all course participants.

Research in Progress: Disease & Therapeu
This course is intended to help students give well-constructed, succinct and informative talks about their work to a broad audience. That is a skill which will remain important all through life, independent of career chosen.
Training is provided in two ways. In the month when you present, you get constructive critiques of your talk from a broad, supportive audience of fellow registered students as well as other students and faculty.
Equally importantly, in the months when you are not presenting, you train to engage with and give constructive critiques of your colleagues’ talks, which supports your colleagues. Listening and critiquing with intentionality is a powerful way of developing an intuition for what makes a good talk. In addition, asking questions and engaging in the research is part of your broad scientific training.
The course runs over two semesters. You will present in only one semester but are expected to participate actively in both. This is a required course for D&T students to enroll in during their 3rd-5th years.

Complex Medical Conditions
This course offers students in their final year of the DPT program opportunities to think on their feet and reflect on actions after they encounter with simulated patients of different clinical domains and various clinical settings. The simulated patients are complex patients, who can be ambiguous, unpredictable and difficult to manage due to patient-related characteristics, e.g. comorbidities across multiple clinical domains, or contextual factors. Students are required to apply primarily the four types of clinical reasoning that they learn in the Clinical Case Management course (a concurrent course running in the same semester) while the simulated patient cases unfold in class. The four types of clinical reasoning are hypothetico-deductive reasoning, pattern recognition, collaborative reasoning and ethical reasoning. The lecture portion of the course will focus on the patient-client management for individuals with cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, with an emphasis on the complex post-surgical inpatient interventions including but not limited to LVAD, interventional cardiology, lung reduction for COPD, and lung/cardiac transplantation
