Physical Therapist Assistant - Question of the Day

PTA - Question of the Day provides users with a unique daily opportunity to assess their relative mastery of essential physical therapy content through multiple-choice questions. A complete explanation of both correct and incorrect options is offered for all questions. The app provides users with a method to track their individual performance over time and to compare their results to the relative performance of other physical therapist assistants.

PTAs purchase access to the app for intervals of six months and have the ability to resubscribe when their access has expired.

Target Audience
The app is designed for physical therapist assistants at any level of clinical competence. For example, student physical therapist assistants can use the app to improve their clinical decision making as they progress through their academic program or as a resource to prepare for the National Physical Therapist Assistant Examination. Licensed physical therapist assistants can use the app as a tool to retain necessary academic content and to expand their knowledge base when working with patients with diverse system and multi-system involvement.

Functionality
Each day a multiple-choice question will be automatically downloaded to the PTAs mobile device. Each question will have four possible options with one option serving as the correct response and the other three serving as incorrect responses. The PTA will select the correct response and immediately be informed if the question was answered correctly. A summary screen will describe the question difficulty level (i.e., basic, intermediate, advanced) and the percentage of users answering the question correctly. PTAs will be able to review the rationale for the correct and incorrect options for the current question or any previously answered questions.

A performance analysis section will allow users to gather a variety of detail on their performance including the % of questions answered correct to date, % of questions answered correct by difficulty level, % of questions answered correct by month, and the % of questions answered correct versus other users.
