Research Practicum II

This is a 16-week elective that provides students with hands-on experience in clinical research under the direct supervision of faculty. Students participate in a variety of research activities pertaining to the collection, analysis and interpretation of data. Specific course objectives are developed individually according to faculty expectations and the current phase of the on-going research.  Research Practicum II builds on PHYT M8853 and is designed to provide students with the opportunity to integrate the knowledge obtained in the evidence-based courses with supervised hands-on research experience. The elective provides the student with foundational knowledge and skill in the development and implementation of a research protocol targeting the student’s ability to synthesize and organize finding into a cogent written and/or oral research presentation. During this semester, students will work to complete data collection and analysis in preparation for presenting their work in the third year.
