Clinical Educators Faculty Development Module (On-Demand)-Conducting and Mentoring Educational and Clinical Research

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The webinar introduced Dr. Jane Dumpsha and her presentation on conducting and mentoring educational and clinical research. She explained why research matters: it supports evidence-based care, improves patient safety, strengthens education, and contributes to the literature. She outlined the research process from developing ideas based on clinical cases, literature gaps, news, or questions from colleagues and patients, to refining a feasible, ethical, and relevant question. The talk emphasized using mentors, consulting statisticians early, and building a clear protocol before applying for IRB approval. Dr. Dumpsha also reviewed common study methods, including archival/secondary data analysis, correlational and observational studies, surveys, and interviews. She stressed secure data collection, proper funding and permissions, CITI training, and compliance with institutional policies. Finally, she described the standard structure of a manuscript: introduction, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion, encouraging researchers to study, write, and disseminate their findings.
