ACPM Research University
Welcome to ACPM’s Research University!
Here you’ll find a curated hub of educational content and resources focused on all things research, including critical appraisal of the literature, healthy skepticism, and evidence-based medicine.
Interpretation and appraisal of published research is a key skill necessary for all clinicians. The resources here will help you develop, hone, and finetune this skill—whether you’re a trainee (student, resident, fellow) or an attending podiatric physician and surgeon.
We'll review how to:
- Properly identify research questions.
- Recognize the strengths and weaknesses of study designs.
- Understand the benefits of various statistical tests.
We offer educational videos, podcast episodes, our ACPM Journal Club Notebook, and more! The page will be updated with new content so please check back periodically.
