Introduction to Research
The annual Research Skills workshop exposes residents to a basic level of research training as required by the Royal College. It is assumed that participants have no previous background in the areas covered. Residents will be introduced to study design, basic biostatistics, critical appraisal, the publication process and effective presentation skills. Clinical examples are taken mainly from the area of reproductive health, yet are applicable to all medical disciplines.
This workshop is strongly encouraged for all PGY1 Specialty residents and optional for all PGY1 Family Medicine residents.
The workshop is scheduled for
November 19, 2013.
