Description
This comprehensive text examines what it takes to progress toward - and ultimately become - an expert in physical therapy. It explores
multiple dimensions of expertise: how expert practitioners develop, what knowledge they use, where they acquire that knowledge, how they
think and reason, how they make decisions, and how they perform in practice to demonstrate what it takes to progress and ultimately become
an expert in physical therapy.
