RESEARCH FUNDAMENTALS – MORNING (TUESDAY)

WORKSHOP FEE: EU 35   09:00 – 13:00

Thomas Findley, MD, PhD
Lisa Hodge, PhD

Join Thomas W. Findley, MD, PhD for an interactive workshop where you can ask questions about how to develop your literature review and research questions. This is a unique opportunity for clinicians to better understand the research process and how to apply it to clinical practice.

Participants submit questions prior to or during the workshop, and Dr. Findley will walk through the process of how to conduct the research, showing the participants step-by-step on the screen. Email questions to info@fasciacongress.org by November 10. Questions after that date must be submitted at the workshop.

Dr. Lisa Hodge will introduce the fundamentals of research design and discuss how to understand the research that will be presented at this conference.   By the completion of this workshop, participants should be able to evaluate the strengths and limitations of the clinical and basic science posters that will be presented at this conference.  Specific examples of these posters to be presented at FRC Berlin will be used to guide attendees in their poster viewing. Presentation will be recorded video.  Dr. Hodge will join live for questions after the video.
