| pubmed-article:19215892 | pubmed:abstractText | Only a small part of the daily work in the field of surgery is based on high-level evidence. To improve the rate of evidence-based medicine (EBM) in surgery, more surgical, randomized controlled trials have been advocated. In addition, it has been recognized that educational issues that concern methods and techniques of clinical research are of similar importance. Therefore, a clinical investigator course focusing particularly on the issues of surgical trials was initiated in 2005. The structure of this course is demonstrated here as well as the results of its evaluation over the last 4 years. | lld:pubmed |
