Finding a Topic

Topics can be found in a variety of locations, from your textbook to the current news, like the feeds displayed below. When you've found a topic that catches your interest, look for the presence of medical terminology or keywords, then use the resources in the Background Knowledge column on the left to deepen your understanding of them. News sources are a good place to start, but they should not fully inform your knowledge of a topic, as they are not scientific: they are written by journalists and not researchers. When you understand a little more about your topic, continue to Finding Peer-Reviewed Articles to move from broad understanding to specific research.
