Noting Sackett's report that physician treatment selection is often based on the year of graduation from medical school, Moderator Joshua Cleland asks the debaters to comment on Wong et al's finding (Phys Ther. August 2007;87:986-994) of no direct correlation between physical therapist use of ultrasound and year of graduation. ALSO: How much emphasis should be placed on the application of ultrasound—and other physical modalities—in professional physical therapist education programs? And what are future directions for ultrasound and modality use in physical therapist practice?
