MSRT 6020: Medical Pathophysiology

3.00 Credits

Weber State University

Advanced-practice pathology of the heart and lungs presented in case study format for articulating a working diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care based on an abundance of patient assessment techniques including patient history/physical, signs, symptoms, and ancillary radiographic evidence. Medical information gathered from research database articles are presented to enhance a decision-making rationale for the treatment of cardiopulmonary diseases.

MSRT 6030: Learning Theory/Sim Strategies

3.00 Credits

Weber State University

An application of teaching and learning theories for adult learners across variable clinical, laboratory, simulation lab, and in face-to-face interactions are explored within both traditional and non-traditional classroom settings. Teaching strategies and simulation designs are designed to support student learning for future respiratory therapy educators and clinical instructors.

MSRT 6130: Evidence-based Practice

3.00 Credits

Weber State University

This course explores research-based evidence of best practices for advanced respiratory care practitioners (RCP's) by identifying important questions, i.e., medication, ventilation strategies, protocols, etc. in the evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment of patients suffering abnormalities of the cardiopulmonary system. A methodological approach to evaluate practice is explored through a systematic literature search whereby the evidence manifest through particular treatments of a population can be expected.

MSRT 6140: Applied Research in Resp Care

3.00 Credits

Weber State University

Research is a fundamenal part of healthcare. This course will explore research opportunities specifically in the field of respiratory care. Basic statistical concepts will be reviewed. Nominal, ordinal, and continuous methods will also be studied. Publishing the findings through an original research paper, an abstract, case report, and poster presentation will be a main focus for this course.

MSRT 6150: Research Methods in Res Care

3.00 Credits

Weber State University

Research involves a process of "sense-making" of interrelated activities rather than a simple description or basic understanding of unrelated events. Appreciating the sequence of events and the diverse methods of inquiry can lead a researcher in multiple directions. It is important to ground your initial question in methods that enhance understanding. Researchers must develop a "toolkit" with methods that address a central question and provide a means to thoroughly evaluate a stated outcome. Methods can assist healthcare researchers to identify problems to be studied with ideas that answer the questions or central problem in the inquiry process. In this way, practitioners need to know quantitative, qualitative, and mixed approaches of inquiry to develop an in-depth understanding of multiple research designs and procedures used in research today. Through this course, students will gain an understanding of research used in the field of Respiratory Care and apply and evaluate methods of inquiry in the discovery of new medical knowledge.

MSRT 6300: Respiratory Care Internship

3.00 Credits

Weber State University

This course has been designed as a way for students to put "theory into practice" by seeing a project (curriculum proposal, administrative problem, or research question) through to completion. It has been developed to provide course participants with an opportunity to work with a self-identified mentor to prepare a course, identify an organizational problem and implement its solution, or to design and answer a "best-practice" procedure to improve clinical outcomes. The course includes a strategy to work closely with an instructor approved mentor to implement a deliverable written project outlining the problem encountered, the process implemented to overcome the problem, or the literature necessary to address the practice.
