Held at MTIC Student Clinic. Students are scheduled for 2 clients with a 2 hour appointment. Clients for advanced clinic have a challenging case history and students do a thorough intake, history, assessment, observation, and special tests to determine the chief complaint and devise a treatment plan and then deliver the treatment plan. This is done under supervision by a qualified advanced clinic supervisor who guides the student through the process.

Advanced clinic is an important preparation for professional Massage practice. Students follow up with the client with future visits and practice detailed charting and SOAP Notes to track the progress of the client.
