Welcome to RSCH 503 by Paul Thomas Clements https://padlet.com/ptc33/enwmxh5fu9zv Let's create a community! en-us 2018-07-24 20:00:01 UTC 2023-02-09 22:15:18 UTC hello@padlet.com Welcome to RSCH 503! ptc33 https://padlet.com/ptc33/enwmxh5fu9zv/wish/283402466 Greetings everyone and welcome to RSCH 503: Research Methods and Biostatistics. I live in Asheville, North Carolina (and just recently survived Hurricane Florence) and am soon to celebrate my 11th anniversary of working at Drexel as a full-time geographically remote faculty member. Autumn has started to appear in the Great Smokey Mountains and is so very beautiful. I often walk my dog, Smoke, in the woods and enjoy the fresh air and all of the sights, sounds, and critters that are all a part of the local nature (right now, many bunnies, bears, and families of wild turkeys). I am looking forward to a very exciting quarter and hope to share support from my more than 35 years' in healthcare/nursing. I am also the Chair for the RSCH 503 course. I have been a forensic psychiatric nurse for over 25 years. My research has focused on understanding the lived experience of children exposed to the murder of a family member. All of my studies have utilized the mixed-methods design (one of the several designs that you will learn about in detail during the quarter ahead).  One example of my clinical forensic work includes this photo of a trip to Bolivia in 2011 with a team from Drexel CNHP. Since I am a forensic practitioner, my role was to work with psychologists, prosecutors and judges regarding enhanced assessment of children exposed to sexual violence.  Here I am working with children in the school room of the Domestic Violence Shelter/compound where they were residing (located at over 12 thousand feet in the Andes mountain range!). I got to meet quite a few alpacas during that time  :-) I look forward to learning more about each of you here in the Introductions Padlet and to working with you throughout the Spring quarter. I will "see" you in class  - - - Dr. C
