Andrew G Miller
Abstract
Research is critical to providing scientifically sound treatments in respiratory care. Getting started in research requires mentorship to develop the skills required for success. Teamwork is integral to successful research programs. There are many roles that can be filled by members of the research team, and most researchers begin by assisting experienced researchers. Supporting data demonstrate that having a formal process for research can improve the quality of research produced by departments. This article will review how to get started in research, including the importance of mentorship, roles that can be filled by team members, and how to develop a process for research.
