Professionalism & Accountability Comments:
I preform in a professional manner at placement, within my PTA role and speak in a respectful manner, i ask
lots of questions when needed.
I could work on feeling more confident to ask more questions than i already do, as well as with taking initiative
without as frequent of assistance. speak and act in a professional way at placement i also stay within my PTA
level of practice and speak to everyone at clinc in a respectful manner
Final thoughts
I feel much more confident on asking for help from the PT supervisors as their job is to help me gain
knowledge and that there is never too many questions that could be asked
I take much more initiative now as the PT asks me to delegate who is seeing what clients for PTA related
tasks, i also try and jump in more when things are not running on time to help anyone out
Final thoughts
I use client centered language when speaking with my clients as well as confirming with the how they
are feeling during our treatment session together
I have gained a better understanding for charting terms which are used in the clinc for charting
I feel very confident in adjusting the settings down if a client feels discomfort using ultrasound, i still get a
little confused when working with the older ultra sound machine as the settings are different but i do
have growth with working with that as well

I Need to work on my active recall for anatomy terms, as well as when i get new clients to not be nervous
and just be my confident self.
Final thoughts
I make clients aware of any safety education that is needed especially during ultrasound
I always have the proper equipment for exercises as well as gel and towels for ultrasounds
still working on strengthening my anatomy skills but i do feel some growth in this area since midterm and
feeling more confident since midterm as well in working with clients.
I do from time to time miss wiping down a plinth or two when things get busy as well as i sometimes forget what
all the cleanup tasks at the end of the night are.
Final thoughts
I have become very familiar with daily tasks such as lotion bottle refilling, trash duties, laundry and folding as well
as wiping down plinths and remaking pillows.
