PT 760 Special Project I

Students begin research for a project that is a summative experience across course work to date. Students are presented with complex clinical cases from which key issues in examination or intervention are selected. Working in small groups, students review the research literature on their assigned case-related management issue. Using independent and self-directed learning, students: (1) assess the value of case and issue-related scientific literature to their clinical decision making and (2) choose, analyze and present the research articles chosen to best facilitate clinical decision-making. This major project demonstrates the students’ ability to appropriately use research literature to guide clinical decision-making and practice, as well as their understanding of the role of research in advancing practice and contributing to the profession’s body of knowledge.
