This is a required course in the MSc Rehabilitation Sciences degree. It focuses on quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and research designs used in rehabilitation research. Theories and frameworks central to rehabilitation research are incorporated throughout.
REHB 7290 Appraisal, Synthesis, and Communication of Research Evidence in Rehabilitation Sciences 3 cr
This course has been offered in varying forms as a readings course for a number of years. Formalizing the course will increase efficiencies in the M.Sc. Rehabilitation Sciences program whereby individual faculty will no longer need to offer the course to individual students. Faculty recognize that the course covers essential skills that every student needs to acquire, and by covering both qualitative and quantitative health literature, this course will serve the needs of all M.Sc. Rehabilitation Sciences students. The unit is also in the process of proposing a new CoRS-based Ph.D. program. With the introduction of REHB 7290, the unit will be able to offer potential future Ph.D. students with a relevant course to prepare them for Ph.D. studies. The course introduction does not affect the supplementary regulations.
