RT @
OSU Research
Research has long been part of the curriculum to
become an advanced respiratory therapist at OSU and participating in the
Denman Undergraduate Research Forum is expected. All undergraduate
students learn fundamentals in statistics, research methods, critical
analysis, and presentation through their courses and "Senior Projects."
Students participating in the AMP Honors research program work
independently with a faculty advisor while most students form research
teams with faculty and work on projects collaboratively. Although most
RT graduate students follow the allied health management and education
tracks, they often do their research in RT.
