The goal of the Group on Teaching Research in Residency is to enhance the teaching of research skills in family medicine residency programs. As a liaison to the STFM Research Committee, we seek to build research capacity in residency programs by: creating a peer group of residency-based investigators and research teachers; enhancing communication between these individuals; identifying the research needs of residency programs; providing opportunities for developing research skills; designing and sharing tools for teaching about and conducting research; and identifying resources for supporting research projects and research curricula.
The Group also developed a Research Wiki: The Family Medicine Research Wiki is a Web-based document that is edited by members of the Group on Teaching Research in Residency and to which the public has unrestricted access. This wiki is a work-in-progress; we welcome group members to post tips and resources for doing family medicine research at all levels of training and expertise.
