Educators[edit | edit source]

"I was always searching for ways to share the information developed and presented by the students in our PT program with clinicians and other faculty. Physiopedia enables faculty members to promote early and creative publications by students. Not only is their work reviewed by PT’s around the world, but they have the opportunity to share it with their patients and clinical instructors. This has motivated them to do their best work and makes my job easy!" Dr. Elaine Lonnemann, Associate Professor Bellarmine University, USA

“The Physiopedia 'Evidence Based Practice' project has clearly being recognized by the students as being the most interesting task in their e-portfolio.”  Professor Peter Vaes, Vrije Universiteit Brusse, Belgium

“..student response to the site is overwhelmingly positive. The students enjoy the opportunity to do projects that persist beyond the classroom and provide a benefit to physiotherapists around the world.” Dr Eric Robertson, Associate Professor Texas State University, USA

Students[edit | edit source]

"I have been using PP as a platform to review my anatomy and foundational PT knowledge (like with the GH and AC joint pages) as well as a place to post information about the special tests I have learned more recently in my ortho class (see Hawkins/Kennedy Test). I have quickly discovered that posting to PP has forced me to constantly review my notes from class, texts, and peer-reviewed articles for relevant information and data, and in doing so I am studying and more importantly, learning the information because I am reproducing, practicing, and constantly re-reading it. In addition, once the information I post to PP is live on the web, it is extremely easy and quick to reference during class or when I am studying (and I know it is correct!). I have found the wiki-based style of PP easy to learn and understand, which makes posting to PP worth the time and effort to do so. And because PP is evidence-based, it is forcing me to become more efficient (and effective) at finding evidence-based research studies and resources related to the topics I am learning about, which will be extremely beneficial for me in my future career as a PT. I hope to be a long-term contributer to PP, and will be attempting to recruit classmates and colleagues to help with the project". Tyler Shultz, physical therapy student, Medical College of Georgia, USA

"My experience with Physiopedia has been extremely rewarding and successful. When first considering using this website to allow my work to be shared with other health care professionals, I was able to contact the website editor who was very helpful in guiding me through the necessary steps to make this opportunity possible. I wished to share my case report with other professionals in hope that this would continue and our profession would become more evidence-based and interactive, resulting in higher quality care and optimal patient results. I would recommend Physiopedia to all physical therapists as it is an excellent database for conferencing with other health care providers and finding helpful resources to better ones practice."
Jill Robison, DPT Student from the University of Texas Medical Branch

“I really enjoyed working on this project. I feel that it allowed me a chance to do something that can be seen by many people to come.” Anonymous feedback, physical therapy student, Bellarmine University, US

“This project was an opportunity for us to become more familiar with web-based resources and more importantly contribute to them.” Anonymous feedback, physical therapy student, Bellarmine University, USA

“It was a great experience for learning how to contribute to our profession in a very accessible way.” Anonymous feedback, physical therapy student, Bellarmine University, USA

"....I must say it's a pretty cool way to learn". Kathleen Nestor, physical therapy student, USA

"….it is a great way of contributing to a field of knowledge which many people can use, especially if they count on scientific proof in their research." Nick Libotton, physiotherapy student, Vrije Universiteit Brusse, Belgium

"I find the physiopedia project an interesting project. It offers us the opportunity as students to work on a theme, but we can also consult other areas if something is unclear physiotherapy related. The relevance of the information is of high quality because the used articles are scored. Because of this we create an image of the various aspects of physical therapy based on strong scientific evidence. This is helpfull to use in practice. I hope that in the future, more students or professionals will ad information on Physiopedia." Alexander Ghyssels, physiotherapy student, Vrije Universiteit Brusse,, Belgium
