DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this educational program is to develop graduate doctors of chiropractic (DCs) who will practice using the concepts, methods, and procedures of evidence-based practice. This will be done by significantly increasing the depth and breadth of research content at the National University of Health Sciences (NUHS). The simultaneous implementation of the three parts of the educational program will be accomplished by partnering with the Division of Epidemiology and Biostatistics of the School of Public Health at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). The first part of the education plan would significantly increase the research related content in the DC program by adding five (Trimesters 5-8) to seven (Trimesters 1-4) hours of lecture and one hour of large and small group activities per trimester in the first eight trimesters of the curriculum. Some of the topics to be taught would include: searching the biomedical (including CAM) literature, basic and clinical science research methods, biostatistics, epidemiology, critical appraisal of the literature, ethical conduct of animal and human research, and evidence-based practice. In addition, a well developed in-service program, required journal clubs, written case reports, and a formal, in-depth case study would be added to the ninth and tenth trimesters of the DC curriculum. The second part of the education plan is an NUHS faculty development program. This would include weekly in-services, semiannual three-hour workshops, and topic related journal clubs covering the same topics as those taught to the DC students, but in greater depth. The third part is a fall trimester mentored student and mentored NUHS faculty sabbatical research program. The one student and one faculty member selected each year for this intensive program would take an appropriate level biostatistics and epidemiology course at the UIC School of Public Health; in addition, they would work with a member of the UIC faculty in a mentored research environment for 20 hours per week throughout the 15-week trimester. Under the guidance of their mentors, the student and NUHS faculty member would be encouraged to submit an abstract, reporting on the results of their research, to a scientific conference. Even if submitting an abstract is not possible, each will attend a scientific conference in the year following their mentored research experience. All three aspects of the program will be assessed every trimester by participating students and faculty. In addition, yearly needs assessments of the faculty and students will be conducted, and students will be assessed to determine mastery of research related content and skills throughout the curriculum by a series of standardized written and practical examinations. This four year program should significantly improve the already rich culture of scholarship at NUHS.

描述（由申请人提供）：本教育计划的目标是培养脊椎指压治疗（DC）的研究生医生，他们将使用循证实践的概念，方法和程序进行实践。这将通过显著增加健康科学（NUHS）的国立大学的研究内容的深度和广度来实现。教育计划的三个部分的同时实施将通过与芝加哥伊利诺伊大学（UIC）公共卫生学院流行病学和生物统计学部门合作来完成。教育计划的第一部分将显着增加研究相关的内容在DC程序通过增加五个（三月5-8）到七个（三月1-4）小时的讲座和一个小时的大型和小型团体活动，每三个月在前八个学期的课程。要教授的一些主题包括：生物医学（包括CAM）文献搜索、基础和临床科学研究方法、生物统计学、流行病学、文献批判性评价、动物和人类研究的道德行为以及循证实践。此外，一个完善的在职计划，所需的期刊俱乐部，书面病例报告，以及正式的，深入的案例研究将被添加到DC课程的第九和第十学期。教育计划的第二部分是NUHS教师发展计划。这将包括每周一次的服务，半年一次的三个小时的研讨会，以及主题相关的期刊俱乐部，涵盖与DC学生相同的主题，但更深入。第三部分是一个秋季学期辅导学生和辅导NUHS教师休假研究计划。每年为这个密集计划选择的一名学生和一名教师将在UIC公共卫生学院参加适当水平的生物统计学和流行病学课程;此外，他们将与UIC教师的一名成员在指导研究环境中工作，每周20小时，整个15周的三个月。在导师的指导下，鼓励学生和NUHS教职员工向科学会议提交一份摘要，报告他们的研究结果。即使提交摘要是不可能的，每个人都将参加一个科学会议在一年后，他们的指导研究经验。该计划的所有三个方面将由参与的学生和教师每三个月进行评估。此外，教师和学生的年度需求评估将进行，学生将通过一系列标准化的书面和实践考试进行评估，以确定整个课程中与研究相关的内容和技能的掌握情况。这个为期四年的计划应该显着改善NUHS已经丰富的奖学金文化。
