EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE

Catalog description

The goal of this course is to support students in the development of critical reading and writing skills with particular relevance to understanding the facilitation of evidence-based occupational therapy practice that is founded upon published scientific findings. Students will demonstrate, as competent consumers of research and scholarship, the use of a systematic process to locate, analyze, and evaluate scholarly publications that inform practice. Methods for disseminating information to consumers and incorporating evidence into efficacious practice will be explored.
