<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">We are conducting a survey of ‘Research Characteristics of Doctoral of Physical Therapy (DPT) Programs and its Effect on Attitudes of Clinicians on Research’. The procedures of

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The purpose of this survey is to explore the curriculum and its correlation to research in Doctoral of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs that are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation
in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE) across the United States. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">We are surveying a randomized list of accredited physical therapy programs. The questions are centered on your perspective about what is included in your curriculum with regards
to research. Novel findings from this study will significantly improve our understanding on the features in the nationwide DPT curriculum, thus contributing to the entry-level curricula development in preparing graduates to conduct research. Several questions
will be asked based on your opinions towards conducting research in general. This short survey will take approximately 5-7 minutes of your time. <o:p></o:p></p>
