PHT 222 Seminar in Health Career Lit.
This course is designed to guide the student through the process of finding and using evidence to support best practice. Students will learn how to formulate a research question and how to use that question to search the professional literature for relevant evidence. Instruction will teach students to be critical consumers of articles that they read, with tools to assess not only the quality of the research, but also the level of evidence presented. Basic statistical concepts will be discussed. Students will be required to integrate evidence into clinical practice and to present evidence on a given topic relevant to physical therapy practice to their peers. The significance of professional literature to reflective practice and lifelong learning will be discussed. This is a hybrid course with classroom and online instruction.
