| Summary: | This article presents a rationale, a model, and strategies for teaching basicscience courses within a physical therapy education curriculum using a movement-science theme. We strongly believe that movement science is an important theme to be used in basic-science courses and for the education of physical therapy students in general. The theme requires the integration of portions of many basic-science disciplines. The teaching of the basic sciences, however, should not be limited by the movement-science theme. A movementscience model is presented that approaches the patient holistically. The content and order of presentation of basic-science material within the curriculum are described. Examples of specific basic-science courses are presented. The presentation of specific courses includes content outlines and examples of integrative problem solving. |
