354 Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences—Department of Health Science MHS 5906—Developmental Research Project This course provides students with the opportunity to assimilate the skills required to communicate in academic settings both orally and in writing. The purpose of this course is twofold. First, the course will acquaint students with the guidelines that will assist them in creating well-crafted academic communication. Second, it will give students the opportunity to practice their communication skills and receive feedback from colleagues and instructors. The primary focus of the course is the thesis process. (3 credits) MHS 5908—Applied Statistics This course is an introduction to applied statistics and data analysis. Topics include collecting and exploring data, basic inference, simple and multiple linear regressions, analysis of variance, nonparametric methods, and statistical computing. (3 credits) MHS 5914—Telehealth and the Role of Interprofessional Collaboration The use of telehealth is increasing in popularity among all medical professions. Lack of communication between providers can cause poor patient outcomes, medical errors, and decreased patient compliance. This course will focus on the use of telehealth in multiple disciplines, as well as ways that these disciplines can collaborate to provide care for their common patients. (3 credits) MHS 5992—Qualitative Research Methods This course explores the development and application of qualitative research designs and methods. It considers a broad array of approaches, from exploratory narratives to focused comparison case studies, for investigating plausible alternative hypotheses. The focus is on analysis, not data collection. (3 credits) MHS 5991—Quantitative Research Methods This course develops logical, empirically based arguments using statistical techniques and analytical methods. Elementary statistics, probability, and other types of quantitative reasoning useful for description, estimation, comparison, and explanation are covered. Emphasis is on the use and limitations of analytical techniques in planning practice. (3 credits) MHS 5995—Thesis I This course is intended for students planning to conduct research in a variety of different settings. Its topics include case studies, interviews, documentary evidence, and participant observation and survey research. The primary goal of the course is to assist students in preparing their formal thesis proposals. The instructor must approve the proposal. (3 credits) MHS 5996—Thesis II In this course, the student will carry out the proposed research (under the instructor’s supervision) and conduct data analysis, which will culminate in a summary paper of the student’s research findings.(3 credits) MHS 5997—Thesis III This course is dedicated to the formal writing of the student’s thesis under the professor’s supervision. Once the instructor accepts the paper, two other faculty members on the student’s thesis committee will review it. (3 credits) MHS 5998—Thesis IV In this course, the student prepares for oral defense of the thesis and revision of the manuscript of the thesis. (3 credits) MHS 6002—Clinical Trial Process This course provides students with the crucial aspects of the overall clinical trial process. Students will become familiar with the rationale for clinical trials, key terminology and processes associated with clinical trials, the design of clinical trials, and key plans and documents used in the conduct of clinical trials. The course will draw upon historical examples and codes, declarations, and other sources of regulation and trial conduct guidance, along with practical examples of trial design and management documentation.

It will also introduce the role of quality assurance, quality management systems, and standard operating procedures (SOPs). The aim is to familiarize students with the various jurisdictional regulations, guidance required of a practitioner in the area of clinical trials, and checks and balances in place to ensure compliance. The course will include lectures, case studies, and use of online reading assignments. (3 credits) MHS 6004—Reporting Clinical Trial Results in Different Media and Externship This course provides students with the foundational knowledge and practice cases on medical writing regulatory submissions, general management, and communication skills required during the conducting of clinical trials. The course will include lectures; case studies; and student participation in presentations, role-play assignments, and written reports. (3 credits)
