Physical Therapy: Completing Course and Programmatic Surveys

View Slide Deck PDF

Dr. Dawn Roller (Associate Director of Clinical Education, Quinnipiac University) and David Stocker (Project Manager, Exxat) presented this webinar, covering how PT programs can use the Surveys module in Exxat Prism for programmatic assessment, plus a preview of Course Surveys coming in early 2027.

Key takeaways

PT programs get survey templates out of the box. The Form Library includes clinical education templates, like student and CI assessments of the DCE, that can be reused each year. Surveys is built for simple, annual feedback such as alumni, graduate, and employer surveys, and about 80% of attendees hadn't used it yet.

Uploading a PDF is the fastest way to build a survey. Exxat converts an existing PDF into an editable survey in minutes. Quinnipiac used this to move its older surveys in, starting with DCE evaluations and expanding to graduate, alumni, and orientation feedback surveys.

Distribute by cohort, tag, or link, and use personal emails for alumni. You can send surveys to students by cohort, to clinical instructors by tag, or through a link or QR code. Graduates stop checking school emails, so export the Student Contact Information report and bulk-upload their personal emails via CSV.

Surveys are anonymous, so use Learning Activities for site-level data. Surveys are anonymous, while Learning Activities link responses to a student, site, or course.
