Like FYB2100, this course focuses on public health and health in a life course perspective. Promoting health and participation for individuals with various levels of functioning and health is an important part of professional physiotherapy practice. Physiotherapists must be able to obtain information about the physical, psychosocial and organisational factors that characterise the arenas where people live their lives. The key arenas are the home, workplace, schools and kindergartens, and these can be relevant arenas for rehabilitation, habilitation and health-promoting work. Physiotherapists must also be able to safeguard the rights of people who are excluded from various arenas in life, for example from the labour market. Supervision and treatment of individuals in group activities are important skills for physiotherapists, and the practical training in this course gives students experience of supervising and leading groups.

The students will also participate in the interdisciplinary teaching initiative INTER1200.

INTER1200: ‘Communication with Children, Young People and their Families’ (1.5 credits) makes up the second module of the university's teaching project INTERACT. INTER1200 increases students' knowledge about communication and interaction with children and young people. As in INTER1100, the students receive training in cooperating with students from other programmes of professional study on topics relating to the everyday lives of children and young people.

Passed first year of the programme or equivalent.

The work and teaching methods include self-study, assignments, seminars, skills training, lectures and practical training.

Students will have a period of experiences-based practical training. During this period, 12 hours will be set aside for experience-based practical training relating to movement- and activity groups, and 18 hours is set aside for preparation for practical training/follow up of practical training. There will be a total of 30 hours.

Other practical training in the course is experience-based practical training relating to important arenas for ‘upbringing’ and ‘working life’.See INTERACT’s website for a more detailed description of the content of INTER1200
