ROME Wasn’t Built in a Day: Identifying Research Outcomes in Medical Education
When faced with turning an academic interest into a research study, medical educators must clearly identify research questions, related outcomes, and planned study design. This workshop provides a participatory facilitated group experience in responding to a call for proposals and identifying and clarifying the research questions and relevant outcomes. Within the session individuals will brainstorm research questions, come to consensus as a group as to which research questions to pursue, and collaboratively identify both quantitative and qualitative approaches to study the identified research questions. Facilitated groups further will explore potential threats and challenges to the proposed study designs.
Learning ObjectivesAfter participating in this workshop, attendees will be able to
- Develop research questions for a given topic in medical education
- Identify and appraise relevant outcome measures (using both quantitative and qualitative approaches)
- Discuss and examine threats and challenges to proposed research
