DOCTORAL SEMINAR III

Catalog description

During this course, students will have a final opportunity to discuss topics of relevance with faculty and fellow students, during a full-time clinical experience. Students will be expected to track their own clinical performance outcomes (a minimal data set), while on a clinical affiliation in a different practice setting. Students will participate in tool development, data collection and evaluation, as well as self-assessment. Students will be asked to incorporate previously collected data, learned theory, evidence, personal experience, principles of EBM, and perceived barriers in order to engage in discussion with students and faculty about strategies for improving their own outcomes as a physical therapy practitioner. Students will be required to present their cumulative assessment from Doctoral Seminar at a Grand Rounds forum prior to graduation.
