A family practice residency curriculum in critical appraisal of the medical literature

J C Konen et al. Fam Med. 1990 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

This paper reports a five-year experience with a comprehensive curriculum for teaching critical appraisal and practical research skills to family practice residents. The curriculum includes a seminar series in research and medical practice and simulated research projects. Rationale, methods, format, and evaluations of the curriculum are presented. The curriculum prepared graduates to critically review research studies in the professional literature and translate valid conclusions into medical practice. Residents were able to identify potential areas of research interest and acquired additional skills that encouraged continuing education and professional growth.
