Catalog description

This is the second of four research courses. The aim of this course is to improve students’ research literacy and to further develop the skills needed to effectively utilize the literature to answer clinical foreground questions. Students’ understanding of the quantitative research method is deepened as they learn to critically appraise research to ensure the highest quality and level of evidence is used to answer clinical questions. By the end of the term and under the direct supervision of a faculty advisor, students submit a research proposal and submit an Institutional Review Board application if required. All research proposed and conducted in the Physical Therapy Department is subject to the rules, regulations and approval of the University’s Institutional Review Board.
