This course defines action research as it is understood in the general field of academic inquiry and more specifically as it is defined at AMU. Students are provided an institution-wide action research definition and an AMU original, proprietary checklist which both students and faculty use to evaluate student learning at the end of the program. Through the use of AMU case-studies, the course builds skills in determining which categories of projects lend themselves to action research.

Students in the health systems program are provided with specific examples from healthcare systems and are directed toward health system organizations. The course quickly reviews action research methodology and then builds core competency in how action research is implemented in the current national and global marketplace. Through the use of AMU case-studies, the course builds skills in determining which categories of projects lend themselves to action research. Students in health systems complete annotated bibliographies in health-related areas, such as tele-health.
