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).
Prerequisites & Course Notes
At least 12 s.h. of graduate credit in the master’s program in Physician Assistant Studies and permission of instructor.
