NUTR71-110: Evidence-Based Practice for Health Professionals

This subject lays the foundation for developing professional competencies in evidence-based practice. Students will develop skills necessary for the interpretation and application of research to nutrition and dietetic practice settings, using systematic and critical analysis. Interactive and applied learning activities engage students in the principles and applications of evidence-based practice, quantitative and qualitative research designs, and the critical appraisal of published research applicable to the common areas of dietetic practice. This subject provides essential preparation for the professional placement internships that follow in the Master of Nutrition and Dietetic Practice program and is a pre-requisite for the health research design and planning subject that follows.
