third pacement- initial entry

This round I am in Margaret River for my rural prac and it is a musculoskeletal placement. I am looking forward to this placement as I have yet to do musculoskeletal and I'm interested in learning about how a private practice functions. I assume that I will have 4-5 clients a day and that a large majority of those will have back pain. I will also be conducting an exercise class each week for the senior citizens so I will have an opportunity to put my gerontology experience into practice as well. This placement will involve time spent at both the Margaret River and Augusta practice so I am looking forward to getting a taste of both areas. With this placement I'm mainly concerned about the diagnostic process and whether I have sufficient theoretical knowledge to link up my subjective and objective assessment to come to a diagnosis. I'd like to be able to get into the habit of having a fluid assessment process to make the diagnostic process easier. I know that this will all come with practice so I'm definitely going to make the most of this opportunity, and also enjoy the country life!
