| Using and interpreting research | A/I TPDs have articulated a commitment to lifelong learning as one of the goals of professionalism. Additionally, one of the A/I specific competencies is the requirement that fellows, “design, conduct, write, and present research in either laboratory-based or clinical investigation in allergy and/or immunology.” Continuing education, whether formal or informal, as well as investigative research requires that learners be able to accurately interpret statistical information. While learners typically have been exposed to one or more courses in biostatistics and epidemiology by the time they reach A/I training, research methodology continues to evolve. The resources provided here (also shown in the module on practice-based learning) are designed for use by individuals and programs with varying degrees of statistical sophistication. |
