In this subject, physiotherapists critically evaluate clinical practices and beliefs. Students read and evaluate research into interventions or assessments utilised by physiotherapists. Students search for information using sophisticated search strategies to identify relevant information about physiotherapy practices. Students evaluate research reports using standardised methods, evaluate research validity using predetermined criteria, synthesize results of comparable studies and summarise results in a format that advises physiotherapy practice and is suitable for publication. Students will spend approximately 80% of their time in information retrieval, assessment, analysis, synthesis, manuscript construction and individual consultation with their supervisor
