Students establish or advance their understanding of research through critical exploration of research design, data collection and analysis. The language of research, ethical principles and challenges, and the elements of the research process are examined. Students begin to critically review literature relevant to the field of anesthesia and determine how research findings are useful in informing their practice. Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for the course, but it is highly recommended that the student be a RRT, RN, MD or an equally qualified individual with at least one year of clinical experience prior to taking this course. A background as an AA, RRT, RN, MD or equivalent is strongly recommended. Taking this course does not imply admission to the Anesthesia Assistant program.
