title: Development of a course for final year physical therapy students.
abstract: This paper looks at the development and implementation of a course, Coordinated Rehabilitation, given in the final year of an existing three year B.Sc. curriculum in physical therapy. Preparatory developmental planning for the unit included a review of problem areas in medical curricula and the use of a content grid which facilitated integration of the course into the curriculum. Results of the grid, which gave information about the depth and sequence of material already covered, formed the basis of the course content. The objectives, structure and evaluation procedures are described, as well as the teaching strategies and learning activities selected for the students. The paper ends with a summary of students' reactions to the course.
