Hi All!
I want to develop a research methodology curriculum for all those participating in SAHRI.
What do I mean?
- an article on how to read and evaluate a study? (RCT, case report, cross sectional studies etc.)
- an article on how to design a particular type of a study (RCT, case-controlled) with examples and pros/cons.
Why?
- one of the principles is that we want EVERYONE to get involved, and to get everyone up-to-speed, it would be helpful to have a core curriculum that everyone can use and be a contributing member of the group.
How can you help?
- I need citations, articles, and those who think they actually have interest/expertise, to actually compile a manual for the group. If someone already has this prepared (ie a faculty member) please feel free to let me know.
How does this all fit in?
- to create review of literature, we all must use the same principles
- Plus, I had told everyone that this will be an educational enterprise, everyone will have an opportunity to obtain additional skills.
Update on how where we are going.
There are a few things that we are doing:
- I am working with Kennedy ganti (I should really say, Kennedy is working) on creating a website/web server for our organization. In the mean time I have created a weblog (BLOG) on sahri.21publish.com to put my thoughts (instead of emailing to everyone whenever I think of something). You can contribute to the BLOG as well as having your own BLOG.
- I am working with Steve Shu, a management consultant and a good friend of mine from days in engineering, who currently runs his own consulting firm and is the COO of 21publish.com in creating a business and knowledge base model that we can use to effectively collaborate across the globe.
- For those who are interested, I have also created a wiki page for SAHRI that I think we will use initially to get all the literature reviewed in fraction of time (by having EVERYONE who wants to across the globe contribute). For those who don't know what I am talking about, please see wikipedia.com (an open encyclopedia created by the internet users, which is probably the greatest thing since Google. Also, take a look at what I want to do at sahri.pbwiki.com. Click on DiseaseList. Check out the format.
