ATR 690 Athletic Training Research III

3 Credits

In this course, the student gains a working knowledge of research dissemination in athletic training through the completion of a scientific manuscript. The goals of the class are to provide the student with an understanding of the skills necessary to successfully complete each section of a manuscript (introduction, methods, results, discussion) and to effective present results in the forms of tables and figures. Other topics of study include, but not limited to, the peer review and journal submission process, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and preparing for professional research presentations. Students will also be provided the opportunity to serve as a research peer-mentor to lower-level athletic training students. As a measurable outcome of this course, the student must demonstrate success outcomes (70% or higher) on all exams and written assignments.
