PA 505 Research II
This is the second course in a two-part series and builds on theory and concepts learned in Research I. Students will analyze methods used in medical research and evaluate the reliability of findings. Topics include medical writing, research ethics, research paper design, and critical review of the literature using published research articles. In addition, students will also make recommendations which could improve the research process. Students will cover the essential requirements for a research paper and discuss the AMA paper format. Students will work together to research and write a general review, systematic review, or meta-analysis on a selected topic. This course will culminate in the submission of this research article to a relevant peer-reviewed journal.
