Physiopedia:Testimonials

"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".
