Overview:
Goals:
To provide an opportunity for residents to learn about research design and data collection and analysis and to facilitate completion of the research requirement for residency training. It is expected that this experience will provide residents with the skills needed to interpret the medical literature and make evidence-based decisions regarding patient care.
Scope of research opportunities:
ABOG requires all residents to participate in a scholarly activity during their training. While many residents choose to participate in hypothesis-driven research projects, this requirement can also be fulfilled by other forms of scholarly activity (for example the completion of an educational outreach projects, production of a video for use in patient education or a quality improvement project). All projects must be approved by the Residency Program Director and it is expected that all projects will be conducted under the mentorship of a member of the Ob/Gyn faculty.
How to choose what to do for my project:
There are an endless array of possible projects. It is important to choose something that you are passionate about, because even the easiest project takes time and energy. It is also important to choose something that you will be able to complete and present by your third year of residency.
Following is a link to a presentation by David Grimes on how to formulate a research question and study design that may be helpful. https://prezi.com/bg8z0iumjmfw/research-proposals/
