Abstract
Background:
The Internal Medicine residency program emphasizes translating scientific knowledge into effective clinical practice and optimizing research. Academic projects aim to generate and apply existing evidence effectively. Some of these residents propose that their research work will be a systematic review. The project trains medical residents in conducting systematic reviews to enhance healthcare.
Objectives:
To foster critical thinking and evidence-based questioning. To conduct literature reviews to support proposed issues and solutions. To select appropriate methodologies for disseminating results in conferences and scientific journals.
Methods:
Residents will receive training in Cochrane methodology to conduct systematic reviews. They will form working groups, choose a mentor, and utilize the Open Science Framework (OSF) to share documents. Information will be provided regarding the projected duration of the project and any additional training.
Results:
Projects are expected to culminate in the presentation of results at conferences and scientific publications. Systematic reviews will synthesize relevant evidence in internal medicine, contributing to the advancement of knowledge and evidence-based decision-making. The type of events and journals for result presentation will be specified, along with how project success will be evaluated.
Conclusions:
Evidence synthesis projects directly impact clinical practice by providing reliable information. Collaboration with the UC Evidence Center and conducting systematic reviews promotes knowledge translation and prevents research waste. This empowers medical residents to make informed decisions and improve patient care, potentially influencing standard clinical practices.
