MODULE 1: Introduction to Research & Scholarship
The Introduction to Research & Scholarship is 1st of 6 modules included in our medical research course. This initial module is being provided for free and additional details will be provided soon to subscribe to the remaining modules.
Dissemination of knowledge comprises a series of activities leading to successful submission publication of scholarly work in various peer-reviewed journals and publishing avenues. Medical, Dental, as well as Healthcare related professionals, are typically required to engage in activities leading to advancing research and scholarship. There is, however, a major educational gap as many of the programs does not necessarily cover such concepts as part of the traditional curriculum. The goal of this presentation is to familiarize learners with the different types of scholarly activities including case reports, research, quality improvement, and systematic reviews. Learners will have the opportunity to familiarize with the main similarities and differences between these scholarly activities as well as understand the steps needed for the successful publication of intellectual work.
