The purpose of this course is to prepare students for evidence-based practice. Students will become consumers and communicators of allied health care research at the level of the novice clinician. Students will learn the fundamentals of evidence-based practice as well as the importance of research when developing clinical practice guidelines and/or standards of care. Students will identify a clinical problem, read and analyze research related to this problem and reverse-engineer an existing clinical practice guideline and/or standard of practice to determine if it meets the criteria for evidence-based practice.
