PSC 6288 Integrating Clinical Practice and Research

This course will build on the knowledge gained in Research Methods I and II; students will learn to apply empirical evidence to their clinical practice by articulating answerable questions, reviewing and evaluating the research, and determining appropriate action. Lessons will focus on developing effective ways to draw information from available resources, evaluating the evidence, and applying evidence to practice through assessment, treatment and outcome measurement. Students will be evaluated on their ability to integrate evidence-based practice into their clinical work; course work will require students to create a portfolio of best practices for a specific disorder and to present a case including information on assessment, treatment, and expected outcomes. Prerequisite(s): PSA 6280 and PSC 6287.
