Directed guidance of thesis research, preparation for presenting thesis research to colleagues at a seminar, and preparation for the final defense.

This course prepares students to be informed and critical consumers of the scientific research literature and introduces graduate level scholarly communication skills. These skills include searching, reviewing, and interpreting the peer-reviewed literature, and communicating findings in oral and written formats.

Independent study provides students with an opportunity to develop various components of their interests in health and rehabilitation sciences. The course is structured with a contract and is designed to allow students access to avenues and resources (personnel, mentorship, institutional) to enrich their learning.

This course presents a general study of basic pharmacology in which principles underlying the actions of drugs are presented, including pharmacokinetics, drug-receptor interactions, and drug metabolism. Classes of drugs are presented as groups with “prototype” drugs in each group.

This course is designed to discuss current issues and controversies in health science, with a focus on health-related issues attracting media attention. Topics may include: ethical dilemmas; how research informs healthcare policy; how research impacts healthcare practice; how interprofessional practice impacts patient safety and the patient experience in a culture of evidence-based practice; and cultural diversity, equity, and inclusion for underserved populations.

This course is designed to provide students with a foundation of basic statistical knowledge to aid in reading and understanding research results in the health science literature. Topics will include: variable types, sampling, scales of measurement, reliability and validity of measurement, study designs, descriptive statistics, classical statistical inference, correlation, chi-square, parametric and nonparametric tests for group comparisons.

This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of advanced statistical procedures and their applications to research designs in the health science literature. Topics include: one-way, two-way, repeated measure, and mixed factorial analyses of variance (ANOVAs); analysis of covariance (ANCOVA); multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA); correlation; bivariate, multivariate, and logistic regressions; odds/risk ratios; exploratory factor analysis; and meta-analytic techniques.

This course is designed to allow upper-class student to pursue specialized interests in specific topics in the health sciences. May be repeated twice for credit.
