RMD - 580 Foundations of Research Methods

The goal of this course is to provide students with knowledge about the steps necessary to successfully design and execute a research project. Students learn to work collaboratively with other students and develop skills in oral presentation, both of which are critical aspects of research. Students will be mentored by faculty with research experience as well as clinical faculty, who will provide clinical contact for all research. There is a self-directed learning component in that students select their topic area and work in teams to design their research proposals. Offered: fall and spring.
