Program Educational Goals
1. Demonstrate core knowledge of human anatomy and physiology, including the structure and function of major body systems.
2. Demonstrate an understanding of the mechanics of human structures and movement, including the quantification of joint and whole-body forces and motion
3. Demonstrate core understanding of the neural control of movement throughout the lifespan, including broad concepts in motor learning and neurorehabilitation.
4. Demonstrate an understanding of the principle of homeostasis and be able to explain how physiological systems respond and adapt to external stressors including environmental factors and physical exercise.
5. Demonstrate a foundational understanding of how the scientific method is used to develop the scientific evidence base that guides clinical practice and health-related policy or decision making. The student will demonstrate the ability to locate, read, evaluate, and communicate scientific information about problems of interest related to mobility, health and rehabilitation.
