Mandatory research projects for registrars part of a $100 billion problem: Professor Paul GlasziouÂ
He and colleagues have suggested that all specialties could adopt the GP training approach, where a research project is optional.
Mandatory research projects in specialist training programs may waste registrars’ time and add to the global pit of junk research, says GP and evidence-based medicine expert Professor Paul Glasziou.
Writing in The Medical Journal of Australia last week, Professor Glasziou and colleagues suggested that all specialties could follow the approach of GP training, where a research project is merely optional.
