MPAS 711 Orientation to Practice-Based Learning & Improvement
This is a research course to help orient the student to clinical research, and practice-based learning and improvement. Assignments/work will occur in the last two rotations of the clinical phase. Students will use previously acquired knowledge and skills regarding clinical research to demonstrate their ability to identify a clinical topic of interest that can potentially and positively impact a community, and to research it to gain insights into present/future needs in the diagnosis/management in preparation for clinical practice. Students will prepare a paper or article for submission to a peer-reviewed journal or prepare and present a research-based poster. Students will also present their research to their classmates in a formal presentation. The format may consist of a case study, clinical review, or other format acceptable for journal publication or poster presentation.
