Abstract:
Sponsored by the nonprofit Berlex Foundation, this 6-day Faculty Development Course introduces small groups of new faculty to research design, critical appraisal of the literature, scientific writing, and evidence-based medicine. The course includes didactic presentations, small group discussions, and individual protocol development. Its influence on academic careers is impossible to determine, because defining an appropriate comparison group is not feasible. However, the cumulative effect should be to increase the research expertise of some young faculty in academic departments nationwide. In addition, many participants have introduced the principles of evidence-based medicine in their own teaching programs.
