Advanced Education Program Research

Catalog description

Advanced Education training programs all require some level of participation in research or scholarly activity. Each program sets its own research/scholarly activity requirements to meet or exceed the accreditation standards defined by that discipline. Projects may be lab-based, literature-based, or translational in nature. Students are required to participate in a project at the level defined by their program and demonstrate familiarization with and/or the application of principles of research methodology, types of research design, critical review of the existing literature, statistical analysis of results, and compliance with IRB, PHI, HIPAA, and ethical challenges confronted in conducting research projects. All PG students are expected to complete a project that is publication ready, approved for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, and/or has been submitted and approved for presentation at a local, national, or international professional scientific meeting.
