Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This study's objective was to introduce research concepts and skills in family medicine residency through a problem-based course. METHODS: Eight third-year residents per year in 3 academic years participated. Groups of two-three were presented with the task of developing, executing, and reporting on a small research project within the family medicine clinic. RESULTS: Residents' research skills and attitudes toward research improved. The projects resulted in successful presentations to colleagues and submissions to national conferences and peer-reviewed journals. CONCLUSIONS: This problem- based approach to research education for family medicine residents is productive and enjoyable.
