Our students gain experience in research through a wide range of courses at all levels.

Students work closely with their course instructor and their research/clinical mentor to prepare materials for the Institutional Review Board and to implement a research proposal.

During fall semester, students implement their study and perform data collection, gaining experience in the informed decision-making process, data access, and preparation for statistical consultation. To add to preparation, the coursework includes writing research results for presentation and publication. Projects that have progressed to near completion by the end of the course may be considered for submission for presentation as abstracts and papers for local, regional, or national professional meetings.
