Material Detail

These three chapters were re-designed for a Physical Therapy course in order to reduce textbook costs at Augusta University (formerly Georgia Regents University). This module includes the first three chapters of a book.

All of our material was created or modified from original handouts from class. We considered using a resource from the web for the respiratory chapter and I went so far as to get permission from the author. I received documented permission for unlimited reproduction for the iBook. At this point, we decided that we would create our own so that it would exactly meet our needs.

At this point, the videos that are included in the iBook/eBook are only those that have been created without patients. We were planning on using clips from an old (20+ years) video with patients, who at that time, most likely signed a consent form allowing videotaping for educational purposes.  In speaking to the legal office at GRU about this, I was told that it the length of time would probably be acceptable for use of the videos, with the possibility that many on the videotape might actually have died, so further consent would not be possible.  With this information in mind, we decided to go a different route. Consent for educational purposes does not, unless explicitly indicated, mean consent for open-access purposes. So, I contacted an Emergency Room physician at GRU who is now posting you-tube videos of patient encounters, for educational purposes. I have a consent form that he uses, that I need to modify specifically for our purposes.
