Physician Assistant's Guide to Research and Medical Literature

A user-friendly guide to research for physician assistants (PAs) and PA students. Chapters correspond to major sections of a scientific paper, thesis, or dissertation. Each chapter explores concepts of research involved with that particular component of investigation, and includes worksheets to help in developing an outline for a research project. This guide is especially appropriate as a text for medical research courses in PA programs because it covers how research applies to PA practice, PA education, and social aspects related to the PA profession.
