PTAC 2110 - Physical Therapy Research I
Credits: 1
In this elective course, second year physical therapist assistant students will have the opportunity to participate in the research process to better understand how to work with the physical therapist to make clinical decisions based on evidence-based practice. Students will analyze research articles from physical therapy journals and apply the scientific method to create a hypothesis and prepare a research project that could be carried out in the second part of this course, Physical Therapy Research II. Students will be encouraged to present their research projects at the annual Minnesota APTA Spring Conference, ARCC Student OSCARS, and/or the Spring Advisory Committee Meeting. Evidence-Based Practice is an essential part of the physical therapy profession. This course will allow PTA graduates to better understand current research so they are able to make responsible clinical treatment decisions, making them more proficient and marketable when looking for employment. Students will not be required to take PTAC 2120 if they take PTAC 2110, but PTAC 2110 will be a pre-requisite for PTAC 2120 .
Prerequisite(s) (must have a grade of C or better): PTAC 1050 , PTAC 1060 , PTAC 1070 , and PTAC 1080
