In this unit students continue to assist with data analysis for a staff-led group research project. Working on one particular aspect of the research question, they will report their results and then prepare a discussion and conclusion section which will contribute to the overall research report. This discussion and conclusion section will contextualise the results within the current literature and predict their relevance to emerging osteopathic practice. Students will make a presentation of their aspect of the research project in a research seminar. Finally students will complete a reflective piece on the research experience, which should demonstrate a high standard of written communication skills and understanding of the research process
