Description
This seminar will enable DNP students to achieve the skills necessary for conducting and evaluating practice-based research and to progress through the process of reformulating evidence into clinical practice. Students will learn to be continuously involved in the systematic review of research in preparation for designing a change in practice based on validated evidence. Topics will include, but are not limited to needs assessment, program planning and evaluation; the application of quantitative and qualitative methods in the study of practice related phenomena; grant writing and funding for practice based research. Students will begin to consider a problem for their capstone project, then formulate a research question and choose an appropriate design.
