II ROTATION DESCRIPTION

This course is a four week experience designed to foster the student’s know ledge in clinical research Students will chose between two separate clinical

research experiences (Elective A or Elective B) With Elective A, the student

will be guided through the steps necessary in designing and implementing research with an end result of a research proposal that can be submitted to an

Institutional Review Board and/or a research grant source Elective B offers

the student the ability to recruit patients for the various phase two and three clinical trial studies

III PRERQUISITES

The first two years of didactic curriculum must be completed successfully, which includes Introduction to Research and Evidence Based Medicine

IV ROTATION GOALS

1 Understand the components of developing and implementing a clinical research project

V ROTATION OBJECTIVES

The rotation objectives are provided to assist students in their research learning experience In addition to specified objectives, students must take a

fundamental interest in their own education by asking appropriate questions, putting in extra time, and reading and evaluating the current literature

Rotation-Specific Educational Objectives for Research Elective A & B:

CODE RESEARCH ELECTIVE A (HOPE or SALSA)

3.11.

1

Review the current and past literature and determine pertinent research questions that remain unanswered or need to be validated utilizing PubMed and other peer reviewed sources

3.11.2 Create a table of relevant published peer reviewed research articles

listing these articles by journal, author, title, and detail relevant methods and results

3.11.3 Develop a methodology that addresses and limits bias and confounding

variables

3.11.4 Write a proposal that includes the following components: Hypothesis,

Background, Pilot Studies (if applicable), Relevance, Methods and

Materials, Outcomes, Budget, Timeline, Physical and Personal

Resources, References

3.11.5 Complete applicable IRB forms.

3.11.6 Investigate potential grant funding sources available for the specific topic

of interest

CODE RESEARCH ELECTIVE B (SHRI or SALSA)

3.11.1 Demonstrate knowledge of the regulations and conduct that are expected of

organizations and individuals conducting clinical research

3.11.2 Demonstrate knowledge of the details of all the studies in progress

3.11.3 Courteously contacted potential research candidates by telephone to recruit

them for the various studies I, while remaining mindful of privacy issues

and both ethical and legal guidelines

3.11.4 Determine which study might best fit a particular candidate and then

3.11.5 Provide appropriate and accurate information to individuals who are seeking

information or interested in participating in a study

3.11.6 Appropriately refer candidates to attending physicians.

3.11.7 Maintain appropriate records and spreadsheets

3.11.8 Interview and provide information to patients who are good candidates for a

study or interested in learning more about a study.

The Arizona School of Podiatric Medicine is the final authority in determining whether a student has met the requirements to satisfactorily pass a rotation

In order to receive a passing grade, the following MUST be completed by the deadline as stated in the Clinical Handbook

1 Preceptor’s Evaluation of Student

1 Student’s Evaluation of Rotation/Site

2 Student Assignments

A passing grade from the assigned preceptor in each rotation is required

for passage of the rotation An average grade of 80 or greater is required

for successful completion in the General Objectives portion of the student evaluation A student with an average grade of 70 or below will be interviewed

by the Clinical Director to determine why the grade was given Additionally, an

average grade of 80 or greater is required for successful completion of the

Specific Rotation Objectives portion of the student evaluation After consulting with the student and the preceptor who gave the failing grade, the Clinical

Director will render a decision with respect to additional time in the clinic for remediation Students are encouraged to review their evaluations with the

preceptor
