Good Heart Education provides mentoring for either research projects or case study reports. Please have a project or case study in mind when you contact Good Heart Education. Meetings are conducted on the phone or on a web conference. Meeting dates and times are determined by both you and the Good Heart Education Mentor.
Recommended times to meet for research projects:
- Before starting the project: we meet initially to make sure you have selected a good topic, you are setting up your research parameters/tool for measurement and data collection properly.
- After data collection: we meet to discuss your data/results, ensure you have picked the right statistical test to answer your question, and to talk about what you should include in your discussion section.
- After writing your abstract/paper: you send Good Heart Education the written abstract or paper (if you plan to submit your research to a journal) and your mentor will assist you with editing. We will also discuss how you are going to disseminate your findings (dissemination of results is required by the CVP Specialty Council in order for your project to meet the requirements to sit for the CCS). Includes 1 reading of the project.
Recommended times to meet for case study reports:
- Before starting the case: we meet initially to make sure you have selected a good topic, you are setting up your examination/treatment sessions, and data collection properly.
- After writing your case report: you send Good Heart Education the written case report and your mentor will assist you with comments. Includes 1 reading of the case study.
Fees are paid by the hour. $55 per hour for direct mentoring services completed by phone or web conference.
Keep in mind that you must show the CVP Specialty Council that you have completed all the work yourself, Good Heart Education provides advice, checks your work and guides you on next steps.
