Abstract
This is an evaluation study on the Physical Therapy clinic internship training regarding charting skills in the three affiliation centers of De La Salle University - College of Physical Therapy. The researchers' objective was to evaluate if these affiliation centers implement therapists who intend to practice in the United States. The researchers used the descriptive design. Data were gathered and interpreted using frequency percentage and mean. The results of the study will provide multiple benefits to both the PT students and PT administration as to the enhancement of growth of learning, professional competence in the documentation of patients evaluation results, and above all in the achievement of optimal educational and professional outcomes. In light of the results of this study, researchers therefore conclude that only San De Dios Hospital religiously implement and follow specific clinic charting skills needed by physical therapists who intend to practice in the United States as to the Pt clinical skills of Note Writing, Initial Evaluation, Muscle Testing, Gait Analysis and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Evaluation. In the cases of Jose P. Rizal Memorial Foundation Inc. and Manila Sanitarium and Hospital, the researchers encourage the said centers to adopt ways that would promote better delivery of information and ensure the efficacy of the clinic training they provide in the enhancement of charting skills. This fact would help in the production of competent practitioners both locally and internationally. The researchers would like to recommend a follow- up with regards to charting skills through observations, chart reviews and interviews with a consideration of a longer time-frame to provide an adequate statistical power that would holistically justify the results of this evaluation study.
