NURS 8827 Research and Scholarship Practicum
The practicum experience will provide a comprehensive foundation for the role of a research scholar. Research exposure in the clinical and research locations under the guidance of an established research scientist or senior investigator will provide firsthand knowledge of the role expectations. Although each experience differs, all students are introduced to 1) the research process, 2) scientists with active programs of research, 3) research resources, 4) research infrastructures and facilities, 5) the principles of research ethics, integrity, and accountability; and 6) legal and regulatory research requirements. This experiential learning experience comprises learning opportunities which are not possible in a classroom alone. Researcher expectations in a scientific community will be discussed with the supplement of various readings.
