A Patient Population of Practice (PPoP) is learning-centered, is evidence-based, and connects to a broader strategy of disease management within a patient population known to the student in their local context (workplace). The PPOP will be integrated into your coursework, advising, and research to help you focus on a patient population of practice throughout the program within your local context. The courses that you take are designed to provide content and context that can be applied towards a porfolio and final manuscript on your PPoP.
Instructions:
- Identify your chosen patient populations that you would like to learn more about throughout the program.
- What are important health outcomes being experienced in both patient populations that you work with most frequently?
- What exposures, behaviors, biological factors, or social structures affect the long term health outcomes for these patient populations?
- In what ways might a respiratory therapist play a role to improve those outcomes, using the Common Sense Model?
- Incorporate your understanding of the common sense model and cognitive behavioral intervention in your response.
Please post your initial response by 23:59 EST Wednesday of Week X, and comment on the posts of two classmates by 23:59 EST Sunday.
