Getting Started in Surgical Education Research

Welcome to Surgical Education Research, we are glad you are here. Here are some resources to get you started in this important field.

Textbooks:

Guide for Researchers in Surgical Education This guide is designed to meet the needs of those who work among surgeons and surgical trainees, who embrace the scientific method in their quest to improve the educational process. In addition to content on research design, execution, and analysis, the book also includes information on various types of research design, and use of simulation in surgical education research. There is also a chapter on one of the most important topics involving educational research – funding. Jeannette Capella, MD, MEd, Steven J.
