The purpose of this course is to develop an understanding of the design of common PT-related research studies. We will examine different research paradigms, research question & hypothesis development, study design, participant recruitment & handling, variable & data types, and the most common statistics used. This course is designed for two main purposes. First, to help you become educated consumers of PT-related scientific literature. And, second, to prepare you for PT 495a-c in which you will have the opportunity to conduct research as a part of your MSMU curriculum.
