PT - 653 Research 4

Credits: 1

During the final course in this series, students pursing the faculty-mentored group research project complete the final draft of the Discussion/Clinical Relevance section of the project manuscript, and finalize the document for future presentation/publication. Students pursuing the case history report track select and produce a manuscript on a novel patient case obtained through prior encounters in the four previous pro bono clinics or their first full-time clinical education experience. In addition to completion of a full traditional case history report, students also produce an abstract and poster presentation of the project. Research projects and case history reports are presented as poster and/or platform presentations at the DPT Research Symposium. Working with faculty mentors, students in either track develop a strategy for public dissemination of the project or case history report in a clinical or non-academic setting.

Prerequisite: Successful progress in all prior DPT courses
