Choose an anatomical abnormality or disease/disorder that interests you, and decide who your audience will be:
- Clinicians as your audience: Write a paper (~1000 words)
- Scientists as your audience: Give a slide presentation to the class during finals (~5 min)
- Community as your audience: Create an artistic tri-fold pamphlet or large format flyer
Step 3: What do you need to include?
- Demographics (who gets and how many have the disease)
- Signs/Symptoms
- Causes
- Treatments
- Prognosis (outcome)
What might help you frame your research?
- Is it an acute or chronic condition?
- Who treats it? (surgeons? Physical therapists?)
- Is it part of a larger group of conditions/disorders?
- Are there more specific variations of this condition?
- Is there more than one name for this condition?
