Read a Paper
The reading of a scientific paper is a critical part of continuing medical education. Recent advancements in the practice of medicine and health research are often disseminated as papers in scientific journals. An understanding of the process that delineates “good” from relatively “poorer” research is essential to determine the application of rapidly changing knowledge into actual patient care. Often, this makes a difference between a “good” and up to date physician and a “poor” outdated physician.
