Formulating a Researchable Question: Where Do I Begin?
presented May 13, 2021

The first webinar of this two-part series is presented by Katie Pantano, PT, PhD, an Associate Professor in the Health Sciences Department of Cleveland State University. Her webinar, "Formulating a Researchable Question: Where do I Begin?" will help you jump start your research process. 

Have you had uncertainty about a clinical problem or considered an interesting clinical question you want to investigate, and then asked yourself, “where and how do I begin” to research this?  Developing a research question is critical when beginning a research project, but it can also be one of the most challenging tasks to accomplish! This session provides guidelines, tools, and examples for the novice PT on how to frame a successful research question, that could facilitate grant funding, and contribute to existing literature about a meaningful clinical topic.
