This accredited blended course addresses the importance of research and evidence-based medicine, the relevant ethical considerations, and guidelines for Good Clinical Practice. Participants will learn how to formulate a clinical research question and practice skills related to critical literature review, including working with a statistician and navigating AO PEER.
Prior to meeting at the Surgery Summit, participants will complete a self-directed online course with eight consecutive modules beginning September 23, 2024 . An interactive forum will be available during the advance course work to provide participants the opportunity to exchange thoughts and challenges.
Following the completion of the online self-paced portion of the course, participants will gather in person on Wednesday, October 23, at the Surgery Summit.
The ideal candidates for this program are ACVS residents; however, the program is also open to ACVS Diplomates.
