PHA 301 - Research Design and Analysis


Semester Hours: 3
Periodically
This course guides the student in acquiring the skills and knowledge necessary for formulating a clinical research question and a research protocol. Basic research topics will include concepts of measurement, research design, and data analysis. An emphasis is placed on the development of a testable research hypothesis or proposal, based on an extensive analysis of the available literature. The role of proper statistical analysis will be discussed for each proposal/hypothesis and the student must provide a rationale for the type of statistical analysis chosen. Topics are chosen in consultation with specific faculty members whose expertise allows them to make informed decisions and constructive criticism of the proposal and analysis. Students must develop and submit for program and mentor approval, a clinical project topic and a complete project protocol. Implementation of the project occurs in PHA 302 and 303 (Master’s Research Project).
