PA 7100 Clinical Literature Appraisal and Scholarly Analysis 3.0 Credits

Students complete weekly asynchronous modules and quizzes covering research design, biostatistics, bias, clinical relevance, and interpretation of evidence. Each student selects a medical topic and produces a comprehensive literature critique demonstrating the ability to evaluate, synthesize, and communicate findings. The course prepares students to function as evidence-informed clinicians who can critically appraise emerging research, support clinical decisions, and engage in lifelong learning.
