This unit introduces the principles and relevance of medical radiation science evidence-based research within a clinical practice context of healthcare system and the society. It also introduces basic literature appraisal and elements of a review process. Students develop an understanding of evidence based research incorporating ethical principles, cultural sensitivity, and radiation considerations to inform best practice.
1. Articulate an awareness of the national and international issues pertaining to the moral, ethical, cultural, social, political and environmental responsibilities when reviewing and undertaking research;
2. Demonstrate understanding of the basic research philosophical paradigms when considering the most suitable research design and associated research methods with ethical consideration on evidence-based research principles and its impact on clinical practice;
3. Evaluate and appraise medical radiation science literature, interprofessional and multidisciplinary using appropriate resources and assimilate and synthesise information in scientific, health community and medical radiation sciences research literature; and
4. Scientifically and effectively communicate research data using appropriate literacy, numeracy and information technology skills.
1. UC graduates are professional - employ up-to-date and relevant knowledge and skills
2. UC graduates are global citizens - think globally about issues in their profession
2. UC graduates are global citizens - understand issues in their profession from the perspective of other cultures
3. UC graduates are lifelong learners - adapt to complexity, ambiguity and change by being flexible and keen to engage with new ideas
