EBP in Physical Therapy II

Catalog description

This is the second course of a three-part series that requires students to formulate a clinical PICO question and initiate a systematic review to answer the question. Students will attain human subjects research certification to understand how such protections ensure the validity of peer-review literature. Students will work in small groups of 4-5 and apply critical review standards to peer-reviewed literature, then will apply methods to synthesize the information obtained from the literature to form their conclusions. Students will practice writing for dissemination. Students will be assigned to a clinical or academic faculty member that serves as their advisor throughout the project. Students will finalize and disseminate the results of their work in EBP III in the third academic year. This course is offered in the fall semester, year 2.
