Building on the learning initiated in OTH 504, this course provides the opportunity for students to expand their application of evidence-based concepts to the investigation of an occupational therapy question, need, or program evaluation. Students will continue work on evidence-based projects to answer the clinical question posed by a community partner. This will involve a variety of methods, including gathering and critiquing the evidence, synthesizing and summarizing findings, and presenting the findings to the community partner. Additionally, OTD students will build upon the knowledge of evidence-based practice to begin transitioning to research. Course sessions and assignments will be designed to guide students through the process of evidence-based practice. Prerequisite: OTH 504 and Graduate level standing. Cr 2.

This course addresses occupational therapy theory, evaluation, planning, intervention, and documentation commonly used with adults with neurological impairments that impede their occupational performance.
