Clinical internships of manual therapy are supervised by tutors, recognised by the direction of the education program. In three successive periods of about 30 hours each, the students progress in active clinical practice of manual therapy. Additional clinical internships of manual therapy represent advanced clinical internships of manual therapy, mainly manual therapy of the extremities.
A workbook, based on a portfolio-system, contains information and guide lines with respect of the clinical internships of manual therapy, including the additional clinical internships. Information about addresses and assessment criteria can be found in the workbook "Clinical internships of manual therapy I A".
Part of the port folio-system is filled in by the students: administrative elements, location, type of clinical internship, other details regarding the different clinical internship periods, as well as case reports and referring letters.
