Instructional methods include lecture, participation, and Q&A. 

The instructor, Sheila Schindler-Ivens, PT, PhD, has nearly 20 years of experience helping students and clinicians make sense of research. Sample her approachable, step-by-step style.

  2. Save time.
    • Have a time saving process for starting and completing literature searches.
