• Participants will develop critical appraisal skills, enabling them to evaluate evidence and research within the context of the RAM, leading to evidence-based practice in healthcare.
• Participants will gain practical insights into how the RAM can be applied to a wide range of healthcare cases, diverse settings, and different types of patient care, promoting versatility and adaptability in their practice.
• Participants will utilize the RAM with direct application in graduate student projects or research.

• The significance of middle-range theories (MRTs) and how to develop them for nursing practice.
• Roy Adaptation Model: Key definitions, stimuli, processes, and adaptive modes.
• Assumptions of the RAM – scientific, philosophic, and cultural.
