// 2. Identify 1-3 elements of the artifact and explain why/how they demonstrate mastery. //

Taking this test to become NIH certified involved a few elements. First, reading through some of the 'lessons' they provided helped me to learn more about best practice research. Second, taking the quiz was a positive experience as it helped me to learn and interact in a positive way with the entire artifact. Last, the overall experience was humbling and brought together everything I knew and more about best practice research as well as how to work with others in many other situations.

// 3. How does, will, or could the content of this artifact benefit your instructional audience or professional community? //

The completion of this test will help me to write and publish my research. After it has been published, those who read it will learn from my research and see that I treated my participants with respect and dignity.

// 4. Reflection. What did you learn from the experience when you created the artifact or took the course? //

I learned very in depth details about how to research individuals properly. I never realized how many restrictions, like pregnant women being an extra risk, existed. It opened my eyes to how big the world of research really is.
