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 broader topics, including reference management software, academic presentation design, & patient communication skills. The primary goal of this course is to help you develop tools to excel in your other coursework & the PT profession. This goal, in conjunction with the demand placed upon you by PT401 & PT402, is why a large portion of this course is delivered as online/at-home modules & time spent working on your papers for PT410.
Teaching methods & learning activities will include lecture, group discussion, demonstration, group problem-solving, case studies, & independent reading. Some of these activities may be conducted online.
