The Research Methods course provides a brief introduction to various forms of research methods, both quantitative and qualitative. An overview is presented of the quantitative and qualitative research methods and designs applicable to the systematic analysis of the varieties of medical treatments and human experiences. Scientific problem-solving will be emphasized to include observational techniques and measurement tools, coding, analytic strategies, and reporting of research. The course will encourage students to focus on research that has been used in their fields of interest, and to develop a research proposal for a topic of their choice.
