Research and Evidence Integration I

Catalog description

Research & Evidence Integration I is a lecture course that builds on the foundational principles of evidence-based practice by engaging students in the research process at an advanced level. This course focuses on different research methods and study designs as students search, read, and critically appraise current scientific literature in athletic training and sports medicine. Students will then become a contributor to the expansion of knowledge that supports evidence-based practice. This course will provide the structure for the development of a scholarly project on a clinically-relevant topic in sports medicine. The continuation of the scholarly project will occur in Research & Evidence Integration II (ATHT 510) and III (ATHT 610). Scientific writing skills are emphasized in this course.
