PT Capstone Project I

Catalog description

This is the first of two Capstone courses for Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students. The Capstone courses will culminate in a completed study, a manuscript suitable for submission to a peer-reviewed journal, and a poster appropriate for presentation at a scholarly conference. The Capstone courses build upon relevant research content and experiences integrated across the DPT curriculum. By the end of the first Capstone course, students will complete a review of the literature, design a study, have data collection in progress, and begin to draft early components of the manuscript.
