Hi Heather! My advice would be to pick an area or topic that interests you and then review the literature available in AJOT or similar journals to see what's out there. Find a researcher from some of the articles to contact and see if they are willing to work with you. It will be a much more interesting project if you pick an area that interests you - especially since it will be taking up a lot of your time!
Good luck!

I am an MSOT student and I must complete an 120 hour researcher practicum. Here are the specifications: Work with an instructor-approved researcher to establish learning outcomes related to conducting and disseminating scholarly work of the profession, with an emphasis on outcomes research, including examining, developing, refining, and evaluating the profession's body of knowledge, theoretical base, and philosophical foundations. The learning outcomes can include process, product(s), or a combination of process and products. I am having difficulty coming up with a place to start. For instance, should I pick a topic that needs to be researched in OT or should I try to contact an OT researcher? If so, what topic would I pick and how would I go about finding a researcher? Or, how would I find some good topics to pick? ANY help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. Heather -- Unsubscribe?
