Hello my distinguish colleagues,
In this discussion assignment, I will be sharing with you the results of my core values self-assessment, and I will answer the two important questions that were posted.

Indicator #2 and #9 illustrates the importance of an evidence-based approach to decision making. The Utica DPT program has helped me immensely by providing a strategy on how to critically appraising the value of high-quality research journals and using reputable research
