Title: Discussion 12: Evidence based research
Course: PHT 1007 Topics in Physical Therapy > Section: Module 12

Research is very important in physical therapy and the overall management of patients in all settings. As the profession continues to strive to be considered a doctoring profession, the use of evidence based research to support what we do is increasingly important. As a PTA, you need to be able to read and interpret research to support your decision making process in the management of your patients.

- How do you currently research a paper?
- What types of sources do you look for?
