METHODS IN CLINICAL OTOLARYNGOLOGIC RESEARCH

这次会议是第二次全国研究目标会议 耳鼻咽喉头颈外科学和方法 主要的耳鼻喉科协会。 因此，它代表了一个重要的 继续专业的持续努力，以吸引更多的潜力 研究职业的医生调查员，协助研究职业 发展，并促进当代的继续教育 基础和临床研究方法。 拟议的会议 与第一个不同的是，它侧重于临床研究， 特别是当代实验设计和评估。 会议建议将居民和初级教师聚集在一起， 耳鼻喉科培训计划与专家临床研究者， 使潜在的新调查人员熟悉以下方面的兴奋和纪律： 良好的临床研究。 计划举办的系列讲习班将 提供机会，让有经验的人和 新手医生，研究者对有关的各个方面的临床主题 research. 这可能会导致那些开始创业的人减少错误的开始 研究职业生涯，并将提供一个顾问网络时，问题 在未来出现。 原型临床试验的实际规划将 确定感兴趣的领域，帮助确定适合调查的问题 并给予所有参与的第一手经验， 接近他们的调查。 理想情况下，这一过程将导致 几项重要的新研究计划， 可追溯到研讨会参与者之间的互动。

The proposed Conference is the Second National Conference on Research Goals and Methods in Otolaryngology--Head and Neck Surgery to be organized by the major otolaryngic societies. As such, it represents an important continuation of the specialty's ongoing efforts to attract more potential physician-investigators to research careers, to assist in research career development, and to facilitate continuing education in the contemporary methodology of basic and clinical research. The proposed Conference differs from the first in that it focuses on clinical research and, more specifically, on contemporary experimental design and evaluation. The Conference proposes to bring together residents and junior faculty in Otolaryngology training programs with expert clinical investigators to acquaint potential new investigators with the excitement and discipline of well-conducted clinical research. The planned series of workshops will provide opportunities for informal discussions between experienced and novice physician-investigators on topics related to all aspects of clinical research. This could lead to fewer false starts by those embarking on research careers and will provide a network of consultants when problems arise in the future. Actual planning of prototype clinical trials will define areas of interest, help identify questions ripe for investigation and give all involved first-hand experience in applying contemporary approaches to their investigation. Ideally, this process will lead to several significant new research initiatives which would be directly traceable to interactions among workshops participants.
