Few physical therapy education programs offer formal rheumatology courses taught by specialists in the field of rheumatic diseases. We modified, evaluated, and formalized a rheumatology course for undergraduate physical therapy students taught by a rheumatologist and a specially trained physical therapist. Although the course is applicable to our undergraduate program, the process we used to modify and evaluate the course content could be useful to others in their development of similar courses elsewhere. Our intent in discussing this process, the course content, and the rationale for our study is to stimulate a national review of rheumatology course content in physical therapy education programs.
很少有物理治疗教育项目提供由风湿病领域专家讲授的正规风湿病课程。我们对一门由风湿病学家和一名经过专门培训的物理治疗师为本科物理治疗专业学生讲授的风湿病课程进行了修改、评估并使其正规化。尽管该课程适用于我们的本科项目，但我们用于修改和评估课程内容的过程可能对其他地方开发类似课程的人有用。我们讨论这个过程、课程内容以及我们研究的基本原理的目的是促使对物理治疗教育项目中的风湿病课程内容进行全国性审查。
