PT 6680 - Applied Discovery for Physical Therapists III

Continuation of the Applied Discovery course sequence, used to facilitate the evidence-based critical thinking skills necessary for the contemporary practice of physical therapy. Emphasis is placed on analysis of findings from the research project, independent study, or service learning endeavor. Students will also begin preparing for the final dissemination in whatever format is deemed appropriate based on the project type. The student will make progress along a pre-approved timeline toward project completion. This course is the third in a 4-course sequence in which students work with an advisor to produce a research or discovery product that is worthy of dissemination at the local, state, or national level. Students work with their advisor to determine an appropriate timeline for completion of the project by the semester prior to graduation. The 4-course sequence is: PT 6380-Applied Discovery for Physical Therapist I (proposal), PT 6580-Applied Discovery for Physical Therapist II (implementation), PT 6680-Applied Discovery for Physical Therapist III (analysis and finalize), PT 6980-Applied Discovery for Physical Therapist IV (presentation and dissemination).
