Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science

Introduction

Our clinical education program consists of one Integrated Clinical Experience (ICE) and three Full-Time Clinical Experiences (FTCEs).

Our Class of 2026 Dec and future cohorts will complete one part-time integrated clinical experience at the beginning of their second year (2x/week x 3 weeks) and one full-time, eight (8) week integrated full-time clinical experience (FTCE 1) during the second semester of their second year. They will complete two terminal full-time clinical experiences (12 weeks each) after the completion of their didactic coursework. All classes will have a December graduation.

We welcome feedback from our clinical partners. Please feel free to contact the clinical education office at any time at ptrsclined@som.umaryland.edu.  

Current Clinical Instructors can find information about upcoming students they will be hosting by accessing their profiles through CORE ELMS, our online management software. A library of CI resources, a job board, example forms, and feedback surveys are also available within this software.
