MIDGD6205 Research Methods for Evidence Based Practice
This unit addresses the use of research, clinical expertise and individual preferences to inform practice. It will enable the student to advance skills in evaluating evidence that informs clinical practice. Students will develop knowledge and skills in the research process required for implementation of evidence into practice for improved health outcomes. The course develops an understanding of planning a research project, formulating a research question, selecting appropriate methodology, and addressing ethical considerations. Students will compare and contrast existing practices, policies, procedures, protocols and professional standards against the evidence to determine best practice and relate this process to quality improvement of clinical care. Students will critically examine real world examples, and will formulate strategies for implementation of evidence-based practice.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $578
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
