summarize the best available literature on our research question. We were able to set up a criteria
in searching for articles, appraise bias or limitations in studies, and synthesize the results of our
studies to provide a summary of evidence that is available in research.
Prior to starting graduate school, I understood the importance of research, however was
never given the opportunity to conduct my own research. Perhaps one of my greatest regrets in
undergraduate school was not taking the initiative to pursue research. I am grateful and
appreciative for having this opportunity at TUN. My journey through OT school provided me
with a new lens within which to critically evaluate scholarly articles for evidence-based practice.
This experience allowed me to greatly appreciate research as it directly ties into clinical
treatment. Research is the foundation to building and maintaining the credibility and efficacy of
our profession. In the future, I hope to gain more confidence in conducting research, and
eventually have my own research published in the future. My long-term goal is to build a clinic
in Armenia for individuals with disabilities and disorders. In order to do so, I must continue to
utilize new and current evidence in research in order to provide the best quality of care for my
patients.
