Spring 2021 Trine Course Catalog

DPT 6272 Evidence-Based Practice III

In this course students apply the concepts of evidence-based practice to answer a question relevant to clinical practice. Students work in groups with faculty mentors to identify a question, review the relevant literature, and collect and analyze evidence to determine best practices and/or policies. The course will meet its outcomes through one of three mechanisms: (1) student research with faculty mentor; (2) evidence based project; or (3) case study. 8-12 projects are anticipated to be supported by the combined DPT faculty to enable each cohort to complete this course through one of these three mechanisms. Each faulty member will annually mentor 1-4 groups through this capstone project. Weekly sessions will be led by the instructor(s) of record and the recitations will be mentored by a DPT faculty member assigned to each group. The weekly sessions will focus on application of concepts from prior evidence-based practice courses and critical evaluation of the literature.
