I am interested in learning how to conduct research.
I have received what I would consider formal research training in the past (where I would go through everything from initial research proposal, literature research, IRB writing, conference presentation, to journal writing).
I am able to describe different levels of scientific evidences.
I am able to differentiate between observational and experimental study-design, and identify the advantages/disadvantages of each study design.
I am able to identify both confounding variables and bias, and explain how presence of each in a study would influence the research strength.
I am able to prepare an IRB application.
I am capable of using referencing software such as “EndNote.”
I am proficient at performing literature search for research.
My residency has a “go-to” research curriculum for the trainees that is readily available.
My program has sufficient time allocated for pursuing research.
My program has sufficient research funding or information regarding funding available for resident research.
I have a dedicated research mentor/faculty at my residency to whom I have an easy access to ask research-related questions
