THE SCHOOL OF HEALTH SCIENCES The School of Health Sciences at Methodist University prepares undergraduate and graduate students for careers as health professionals. The School of Health Sciences includes a variety of undergraduate programs within various health care related fields, including Applied Exercise Science, Athletic Training, Health Care Administration, and Professional Nursing Studies. In addition, the Master of Medical Science in Physician Assistant Studies is also included within the school. The proposed Doctor of Physical Therapy program is currently in the planning stages. The first class of DPT students is scheduled to begin in the Fall of 2015, when the doors of the new Health Sciences Building are opened. Next on the horizon is the proposed Master of Occupational Therapy program targeted for opening in 2016.
SPECIAL FEATURES Adaptive Living Apartment Designed to mimic a typical residential setting, this space will be used to enhance the teaching of independent activities of daily living by the faculty and students. Students will also use the space to practice home visits and physical therapy in a home setting. Athletic Training/ Physical Therapy Clinical Space This mock clinical space will be filled with traditional equipment found in typical out-patient clinical settings, such as high-low tables, traction tables, therapeutic exercise equipment, traditional clinical modality equipment such as electrical stimulation, laser/light therapy machines, therapeutic and diagnostic ultrasound, and a Diagnostic Nerve Conduction Velocity and Electromyography machine. Clinical Skills Teaching Lab Students will learn clinical practice skills such as patient examination and treatment. The space will utilize fully adjustable high-low treatment tables, and integrate video capture and other technology to enhance the teaching and the development of vital psycho-motor skills for clinical practice. Human Performance Lab The lab will be used to perform physiological measurements related to exercise performance and community wellness. In addition to metabolic and cardiopulmonary equipment, the lab will include a rehab and exercise swim spa pool. This will allow integration of aquatics therapy and specialized treatment techniques into the classroom. Mobility Courtyard This outdoor classroom will teach students the skills necessary to help patients regain their mobility and maximize their independence with the activities of daily living. Students will learn, practice and teach patients how to negotiate walking on different uneven surfaces, including flagstones, gravel, grass, mulch, sand, and steps using a variety of assistive devices. Motion Analysis Lab This facility will be used for the collection, analysis, and interpretation of human movement data on individuals of all ages with orthopedic and neurological diagnoses. This space will allow students and faculty to capture and analyze complex human movements, such as walking, running, throwing, and the golf swing. Physical Therapy/Occupational Therapy Motor Control and Pediatrics Lab This will be a specialized area to teach the motor control and sensory integration techniques necessary for the management of pediatric and adult patients who have developmental and neurological deficits.
Health Sciences Building – Campaign Goal: $5,500,000 The new Health Sciences Building will provide 34,000 square feet of academic program expansion space. It will be built near the existing Physician Assistant facilities at the south end of campus, while also linking the area back to the core of campus. The two-story, glass-walled lounge on the building’s south side will be an architecturally striking feature that will play a significant role in shaping visitors’ first impressions as they enter the University’s main entrance. Inside, the new building will house offices, classrooms, mock clinical areas, laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment, and an adaptive living apartment for training. The facility will also be used for research and to provide services that will optimize performance and reduce risks for athletes in the community. The Health Sciences Building will house the Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Athletic Training, and Applied Exercise Science programs.
