Dear Students,

Welcome to the Physical Therapy Program at CoAHS, GMU. Gulf Medical University is emerging as the leading center in the Middle East for educating professionals in a broad array of healthcare fields. The College of Allied Health Sciences works under the broader umbrella of GMU and is committed to strive for molding the Physical Therapists of tomorrow - who are knowledgeable, competent and ethical clinicians - sensitive to the cultural and social service needs of the society. We hope to accomplish this goal by providing a dynamic and challenging curriculum, focusing on our students by blending the best of both traditional and modern pedagogical methods: large group lectures, small group discussions, case-based learning and computerized instruction. The BPT curricu-lum has been revised to keep up to the expanding knowledge base of Physical Therapy. We have also given top priority for one-to-one clinical teaching at our clinical education facilities. To enhance the clinical skills along with class room teaching students will be posted at various centers throughout the duration of study. Various instructional strategies

and technologies will be used to teach you about career opportunities and their associated roles and new responsibilities, legal and ethical issues, patient diversity, anatomy and physiology, injury mechanisms, disorders requiring physical therapy, aspects of rehabili-tation, safety concerns and patient documentation.

You will be dedicated to improving the ability of an individual to function successfully regardless of the reason for disability: disease or trauma, developmental or acquired, acute or chronic. The profession of Physical Therapy has grown by leaps and bounds in a short span of time. Physical therapists are readily employed all over the world since they offer a variety of clinical knowledge and expertise, adding to the diversity of the profes-sional community.

You will be entering a competitive program and there may be times when the academic climate becomes quite stressful, I hope that you will take it as a challenge and soar ahead of stumbling blocks to be a competent Physical Therapist. Throughout your academic period at CoAHS, GMU the faculty members will be available to guide and assist you in your preparation for a challenging future ahead.

With profound warm wishes we invite you to become a part of our exciting and dynamic college.

4.16 Dress Code

Professional DressStudents should at all times maintain a neat and clean appearance, and dress in attire that is appropriate. When students are functioning as medical/health professionals, either with clinical patients or simulated patients, dress must be appropriate and professional. A professional image increases credibility, patient trust, respect, and confidence. In addition, because medical and health sciences students utilize facilities on campus where patients and the public are present, professional dress and appearance are also expected even when students are not engaged in patient care. In addition, most of the clinical facilities have specific dress code policies that must also be followed. Furthermore, Photo I.D. badges are to be worn at all times.

Violation of the dress code can have detrimental consequences for patient care and could damage the reputation of the institution. Flagrant and repeated violations of the dress code may be deemed to signify a lack of insight or maturity on the part of the individual student and call for counseling and discipline. The immediate supervisor may choose to discuss initial violations of the dress code directly with the student. Serious or repeated violations may be subject to disciplinary action.

4. General Chemical Disposal

Not all chemicals can be thrown into the drain. Ensure that the chemical is safe for discharge into the sewer. If not, store in empty reagent bottles or carboys for processing and disposal by a waste disposal company. As a general guideline, strong flammable and acute toxic chemicals should not be discharged into the sewer.

Dilute all che• micals that will be thrown into the sewer.

Acids and bases should be neutralized properly before discharging into the sew-•erage system.

All gels (excluding those stained with ethidium bromide) should be disposed •into special plastic bags. These bags, when full, should be double wrapped, secured properly and thrown with normal rubbish for disposal.

Commingling of chemical waste in waste storage containers should be kept to •

Where the above is not possible, aqueous waste should be segregated into the •following groups:

Halogenated •

Flammable •

Phenol-• chloroform

Flammable chemical waste should be stored in well-ventilated areas to reduce •accumulation of lammable vapors.

Solid chemical waste should be securely packaged before disposal into normal •trash where they will eventually be incinerated. An exception to this is solids that sublime at room temperature and produce toxic gases. In such cases, try to convert the solids to a stable form and chemically inactivate it.

OrganicSolvents:Solvents are disp• osed of in specifically-labelled (name of solvent, your name and your supervisor’s name) waste bottles in a fume hood. Do not pour them down the sink. Only very small quantities (< 1 ml) may be flushed down the sink with lots of water.

Chloroform and acetone must not be poured into the same bottle as they react to •form an explosive chemical.

12.0 OATH OF A PHYSICAL THERAPIST

As I enter the profession of physical therapy, I solemnly pledge that

I will respect the rights and dignity of all individuals and will be trustworthy towards my patients and clients in all the aspects.I won’t let the practice of my profession be influenced by race, creed, religion, greed or unethical behavior. With due honor I will place the health needs of my patients and clients above my own self- interest and passionately reach out to their pain to cure it empathetically with due compliance to the laws and regulations that govern physical therapy. My primary aim would be to maintain professional competence and promote high standards of practice, education and research and at the same time respect the rights, knowledge and skills of colleagues and other health care professionals.

Thus, with this pledge, I freely accept the responsibilities that accompany the practice of physical therapy.
