PT 6580 - Applied Discovery for Physical Therapists II

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 implementation of the research project, independent study, or service learning endeavor, such as through data collection, experiential learning, community outreach, guided by an approved faculty advisor. The student will make progress along a pre-approved timeline toward project completion. This course is the second 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.
