3. Reinforcing the mutual interdependence of high-quality clinical and technical activities for the attainment of precise and predictable clinical outcomes.
4. Developing the student's knowledge base, both didactically and clinically, with a view to refining the student's approach to patient care.
5. Awareness of the cost-benefit equation in FP therapy, and the patient's right to make an informed choice.
