1 Credit Hours
Prerequisites: Entry into the PT program and successful completion of all prior DPT courses.
Description
This course is a distance learning web-based course designed to facilitate application of evidence based practice in the clinical setting. The student will have the opportunity to use the techniques associated with evidence based practice in physical therapy to answer a clinical question prompted by a patient encounter. Students will disseminate their findings to classmates, and may present the EBP paper to the staff at the clinical experience site. This enhances the efficacy of patient/client interventions and outcomes and promotes best practice paradigms.
