CNBH 660 Perspectives in Research and Theory in Health Profession Education

This course guides students through an exploration of multiple bodies of literature which will serve as a platform for the development of a dissertation topic. Using concept mapping and intensive library research, students explore the theoretical foundations, research methods, and constructs associated with their areas of interest and focus on identifying potentially researchable, answerable, and meaningful questions for further dissertation inquiry. Students master the process of synthesizing literature to form coherent problem statements and identify relevant constructs. At the end of the course, students will identify potential members for a dissertation committee.
