For graduates of PT school do you think there is a strong correlation between being good at labs in your prerequisites courses and your grades in clinicals? I completed Physics 101 and 102 and felt the lab portion of the class was over my head. Many a times I felt one person in my lab group would be charging ahead and setting up all the experiments while I just took down the results.

Not at all. You might use some biomechanical principles in the clinic but other than that I don’t think my physics coursework had even crossed my mind.

NO! Most of my prerequisite labs had nothing in common with PT school labs and clinicals. Team work in PT clinics is not similar to team work in physics labs at all. It just will not work if your co-worker is charging ahead with a patient leaving you behind lol. If there is a need for team work, you will have to work together. If you do not work together, there is no need for team work.

no way man, most of your clinical skills will come from PT course work like radiology, test and measures, patient care, ortho, neuro things like that. Not your physics lab.
