This subject will build on knowledge and skills acquired in NS5201. Practice development is a process that can include both discovering new evidence for practice as well as translating existing evidence into practice. Students will explore contemporary theories of knowledge translation and practice development. There is a strong focus on the application of student's previously acquired knowledge and skills in research through the implementation of a service-learning project that will either investigate an aspect of clinical practice, or the development of a practice development plan based on existing evidence for practice.

Learning Outcomes
