Residency Program Research Learning Objectives
The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons sets learning objectives for residents related to research. The Canadian Pediatric Resident Research Network (CPRRN) is an organization that joins together the faculty members responsible for research across all of Canada鈥檚 pediatric residency programs. One of its main goals is to ensure consistency in the learning objectives related to research across pediatric programs. It has published guidelines on the tasks and experiences that pediatric residents should have throughout their program1. Our residency research training program is designed to cover all these learning objectives.
- To develop and conduct a medical/scientific research project.
- To demonstrate knowledge of the basic principles of health research.
- To demonstrate how to critically appraise and review literature in an area of interest.
