Receptivity to full-time early clinical education experience.

This report describes feedback from clinical instructors, academic faculty members, and students following a part-time to full-time change in the scheduling of early clinical education in the Curriculum in Physical Therapy at the University of Michigan. A questionnaire was distributed to all academic faculty members and students of the physical therapy program and to all center coordinators of clinical education and primary clinical instructors who worked with students during the trial year. Results of the study indicated strong support for the full-time schedule.
