PT 494 Scientific Communication
The purpose of this course is to develop & improve the skills required to be an effective scholarly communicator (scientific writing, academic/scientific presentations, & clinical interactions). As such, we will cover many writing-related topics, including grammar & usage, structure (sentence, paragraph, & paper), content analysis & integration, and AMA-formatted citation. We will also cover many broader topics, including literature searches & reference management software, academic presentation design, and patient communication skills. The primary goal of this course is to help you develop tools to excel in your other coursework. This goal - in conjunction with the demand placed upon you by PT 401 (Gross Anatomy) and PT 402 (Biomechanics) - is why a large portion of this course is delivered as online/at-home modules & time spent working on your papers for PT 410.
