PHYT 530 - Topics in Research

Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

PHYT - Physical Therapy

Description:

This course will apply the principles learned in the prerequisite course to three aspects of the research process. First, all students will participate in small research projects to be performed in class. These projects will cover a broad spectrum of potential research designs so that students will be exposed to data acquisition in multiple research formats. Secondly, the product of these student research projects will be written in an abstract format typical of submission for presentation at a national conference. Thus, students will learn the process of presenting acquired data. Thirdly, students will learn to critique the finished product of the research process through evaluation of seven separate published manuscripts that likewise represent a broad spectrum of research designs. The papers will be evaluated for their validity and usefulness to practice (i.e. evidence-based practice). The same skill will then be used to perform an independent evidence-based project. Prerequisite: HLTS 430.
