POD415 Evidence Based Practice in Podiatry (8)
Abstract|
This subject allows students to further develop an understanding of the importance of evidence based practice in the podiatry profession. Students will explore a range of relevant research methodologies and develop skills in critically evaluating current research in clinical practice. Students will have the opportunity to research a contemporary issue of relevance to the podiatry profession and will undertake a review of the literature. Presentation of this literature review to a group of peers, academics and practitioners, will provide students with an opportunity for critical review of their work. This subject ensures that non-Honours students gain skills in critical analysis and writing for research, to enable their development as potential practitioner-researchers. |
