(2) Education: the process of imparting information or skills and instructing by precept, example, and experience so that individuals acquire knowledge, master skills, or develop competence. (3) Patient care (patient and client management): providing services to patients and clients who are at risk for, or who have, impairments, functional limitations, disabilities, or changes in physical function and health status relating to injury, disease, or other causes. (4) Research (critical inquiry): the process of applying the principles of scientific methods to read and interpret professional literature; participate in, plan, and conduct research; evaluate outcomes data; and assess new concepts and technologies.
