This course provides students with a framework for supporting the undertaking of research on a topic area of their choice at an advanced level to inform both professional practice in the health context and/or further research. The specific focus of this course is building knowledge and skills that are central to the development of high level academic writing and the presentation of a critical review of the literature related to a specific area of research or practice interest and the development of expertise. The literature may address a controversy, establish the need for additional research and or identify and define an area of inquiry.
