ABSTRACT: Why Don’t We Know Whether Care Is Safe?

Abstract Reliable data are essential to ensuring that health care is delivered safely and appropriately. Yet the availability of reliable data on safety remains surprisingly poor, as does our knowledge of what it costs (and should cost) to generate such data. The authors suggest the following as priorities: (1) develop valid

ABSTRACT: Perspective: Reconsidering the focus on “outcomes research” in medical education: a cautionary note.

Abstract Researchers in medical education have been placing increased emphasis on "outcomes research," or the observable impact of educational interventions on patient care. However, although patient outcomes are obviously important, they should not be the sole focus of attention in medical education research. The purpose of this perspective is both to

MANUSTRIPT: Learning styles and approaches to learning among medical undergraduates and postgraduates
