OCOM 8944 - Research Elective - Retrospective/Prospective/Meta-Analysis
This rotation provides students with the opportunity to develop or enhance their knowledge and skills to a level appropriate for a beginning researcher. Permission to participate must be given by the Centers for Osteopathic Research and Education research director and the assistant dean for clinical education. Students must also be in good academic standing. Student research can consist of any of the following types of studies: a retrospective study, a prospective study, a survey study or a meta-analysis. To accomplish this, the rotation provides a broad overview of research via hands-on experience. To achieve rotation objectives, students are expected to apply research-based concepts of diagnosis and management to the patient, develop a working knowledge of both inpatient and outpatient treatment modalities, research design, statistics and hypothesis testing, human subject protection, protocol development and dissemination of research findings as means of contributing to evidence-based medicine. Throughout the rotation students should have multiple opportunities to perform different aspects of research and practice problem-solving skills.
