| Annotation | Students whose training courses do not include research will not be adequately prepared for future careers in the health professions. This issue of Physical and Occupational Therapy in Geriatrics offers examples of two effective and relatively efficient models of research training. In the apprenticeship model (discussed in the first three articles), students acquire "hands-on" experience by participating in ongoing research in a one-to-one working relation with a researcher. The partnership model (covered in the last three articles), involves a service learning approach that is both community-based and problem-based, in which a health agency and university work in collaboration. Students conduct research projects that deal with issues or problems of concern to the institution or agency. Both models offer benefits which will enhance research training in the health professions. (RH). |
