If you are reviewing different courses for massage therapy, you might end up seeing the term ‘Research Literacy’.
Research literacy is basically what it sounds like – It’s about having research skills – Being able to research information about massage therapy and the critical thinking skills to evaluate the information discovered during the research process.
The above may be an oversimplified explanation of what research literacy is, but it’s a basic foundation for understanding what is taught in research literacy courses.
Research literacy may or may not be a required course depending on the type of license or certificate you will be seeking to obtain after you’ve enrolled in a legitimate massage therapy school.
One thing is certain though, having a thirst for knowledge in massage therapy can help you in the process of advancing toward your goal of becoming a massage therapist.
