PTH 643 - Clinical Inquiry I

The course presents the components of a plan for the student’s research topic, the Research Proposal. The students form a group and select a core physical therapy faculty member as their research chairperson. The students must complete a project that is in the research area of their selected chairperson. Under the direction of their chairperson, the students generate a written proposal in which they provide the background and justification for the topic, and a plan for data collection and analysis. The research proposal is also presented to peers and faculty as an oral presentation. Ethical considerations of authorship, the protection of subjects’ rights, and the institutional review process are also presented using a case-based approach.
