Course Description
Generalists must stay abreast of novel research methods to understand, generate, and utilize the most important research findings and provide patients the highest quality of care. Being well-informed of cutting-edge research methods allows generalist researchers to conduct innovative and influential research and to critically appraise research methods to select the most appropriate methods to answer a research question. Innovation and methodologic rigor are also major criteria for successful NIH and foundation research grant applications. Thus, it is imperative for generalist researchers to stay current on innovative research methods to remain competitive in a challenging funding milleu.

In this update, the SGIM Research Committee will critically review and present six of the most important peer-reviewed papers published in the past two years that have applied novel methods in studies of interest to generalists. We will use a modified Delphi process. We will summarize findings, methods, strengths and limitations for each method, and tips on how to apply the method. This session is designed to keep generalists, especially generalist researchers, at the forefront of medical innovation where they can maximize impact.
