MPAS 601 - Graduate Year Project II

(1 hours) Prerequisites: Successful completion of MPAS 600-The Graduate Project I and all SCPE rotations. This is the second course in a series of two courses. The first course was designed to introduce students to the importance of evidence-based medicine including researching and evaluating medical literature, and applying evidence appropriately when answering clinical questions and making medical decisions about a patient’s care. Students were required to develop a research topic relevant to healthcare today during The Graduate Project I. In this course, students will do an ongoing review of medical literature related to their topic, critically appraise and synthesize results, orally present their findings to faculty and colleagues and prepare a scholarly paper with their findings. This course will also include the student’s summative evaluation, which is a cumulative written test and practice exam, both of which must be successfully passed to graduate from the program.
