Description of  Practical Clinical Research Design and Application: A Primer for Physicians, Surgeons, and Clinical Healthcare Professionals

3031583795 rar Every practicing physician, surgeon, advanced practice provider, and allied health professional interacts regularly with peer-reviewed literature: either while creating it, or consuming it. Despite the countless hours over many years spent in formal clinical training, many clinicians and clinician-authors lack advanced training or a working nuanced knowledge of research methodology and study design. Institutions have responded to this gap by reinforcing their ranks with statistical and methodological support in the form of data analysts, epidemiologists, and biostatisticians. However, clinicians are often unable to talk the methodological talk to guide them. This ultimately results in a stark disconnect between clinically relevant aspects of research and appropriate study design. Existing research methodology texts are largely written by statisticians, epidemiologists, and other academic public health experts. These are not easily digestible by practicing clinicians who need practical knowledge of this content to design their own research or enhance their understanding of the medical literature. Furthermore, these texts are often too detailed or in the weeds with regard to mathematics and statistical mechanics. Practical knowledge is not centrally located rather, it is spread out among multiple books, articles, and other sources. Read more
