As physicians, we practice evidence based medicine; we don’t change our treatment just because it seems like a good idea. We require data from well-designed trials to demonstrate that patient outcomes will improve. One of the missions of the Shapiro Institute for Education and Research is to perform and help others to conduct high quality research in order to contribute to the evidence base for educational methods in the training of medial students, residents and fellows.
