An understanding of the research process and how to interpret and critically evaluate research literature is essential in evidence-based health practice. In this unit you will analyse and critique research methods and evidence with reference to real-world experiences and develop the skills to design a viable and ethical research proposal to investigate a particular area of practice relevant to your specialisation and/or professional interest, which will prepare you to undertake an independent project unit. This unit aims to provide clinicians, health practitioners and health managers the supported experience of becoming a scholar practitioner and able to link their research knowledge with practice. Course themes emphasised in this unit are ethical and responsible practice, and clinical informatics, eHealth and digital literacy.
