PT 6980 - Applied Discovery for Physical Therapists IV

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 final dissemination findings from the research project, independent study, or service learning endeavor. This dissemination will vary depending on project type, but all students must present their project during a department-sponsored event prior to graduation. Further dissemination may occur at the local, state, regional, or national level. All projects are to be complete by the end of this course unless prior approval has been granted by the advisor. This course is the final 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).
