DPT 613 - Critical Inquiry II

DPT 613 is the second course within a series of Critical Inquiry courses that culminate in an original research project completed and presented prior to graduation. Throughout the Critical Inquiry thread, students are engaged in a small-group research project that is developed within the Faculty Research Advisor’s line of scholarly inquiry, which could include experimental studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses or critically appraised topics. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to basic research skills pertinent to scientific research and as a requisite for evidence- based practice. In this course, students will develop the methodology through literature review designed to introduce students to the topic associated with their research question as established with the faculty advisor. As they develop an appropriate methodology, students will be required to write the method section of their research manuscript and further advance their scholarly writing skills. The learning experiences are designed to enhance each student’s ability to critically appraise the literature and engage in the process of designing, conducting, and presenting scientific research.
