Training in evidence based practice principles helps students, faculty and physicians know how to quickly zero in on the appropriate research and how to interpret it correctly. National University received a grant from the National Institutes of Health to launch and sustain its evidence based practice program. Our university now provides a wealth of resources to support evidence based practice training.
Student
Curriculum
National University incorporates classes in evidence based
practice throughout its curriculum for professional degree
students. In addition, students enjoy seminars, journal clubs and
case-study presentations geared toward integrating research and
evidence based practice principles into class work and clinical
care.
Faculty
Development
Our faculty participates in special on-campus seminars that not
only offer training in how to interpret research and use evidence
based practice principles in the classroom, but also how to prepare
and publish higher quality original research and case studies.
Resources
Our Department of Research maintains several online training
tools, videos, calendars and databases for our university
community. Our Evidence Based Practice Program also has its own Facebook page and Twitter
feed!

Opportunities
Because our evidence based practice program is now part of our
entire curriculum and campus culture, there is a wide range of
opportunities for students to get more involved.
