DPT Student Knowledge and Confidence when Interpreting Medical Images
The purpose of this study is twofold. First, to determine the knowledge and confidence of DPT students in interpreting basic medical imaging (radiographs and ultrasound images) compared to practicing PT clinicians. Second, to compare knowledge and confidence related to medical imaging of students from a DPT program where the bulk of the medical imaging content is delivered in a single course (GSU), versus a program where the content is delivered in separate courses related to specific body systems (i.e. courses specific to the musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiopulmonary systems) (MWU).
Inclusion criteria: This study is open to licensed PT clinicians in Illinois who have been practicing for > one year post graduation and to 3rd year entry-level DPT students at either Midwestern University, Downers Grove, IL or at Governors State University, University Park, IL.
Exclusion criteria: Physical therapists who are certified as a radiology technician and clinicians in IL who are within one year of graduation from an entry-level PT program.
The quiz/questionnaire is designed to refrain from collecting any information about your identity. Your participation is voluntary and you may choose to not participate at any time by leaving the survey and quiz at any point. Not participating will have no effect on your current PT program, profession or your practice as a licensed PT clinician.
By completing this survey, you are providing your consent to participate.

Disordered Breathing Intervention
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of an at-home intervention program on breathing and sleep in adults.
Seeking individuals > 18 years of age who think they may have problems with their breathing affecting their daily function and/or sleep.
You CANNOT participate if
you can’t speak English, have a breathing disorder such as asthma, arm tingling or numbness, or any open neck wounds.
After telephone screening, participation
includes a total of 5 study visits and a 4- week at home breathing program guided by an audio track. Study visits will involve completing questionnaires, and measurement of breathing and function, and a wrist worn sleep monitor to wear at night. This study will provide information to help develop an intervention program for individuals with chronic pain who have disordered breathing. Participants are eligible to receive up to $140 in the form of gift cards for their participation.
