OBJECTIVE To assess the attitudes, beliefs, and perceived barriers toward EBP and accessibility to EBP res...

BACKGROUND Concern regarding the quality of surgical training in obstetrics and gynecology residency programs is focusing attention on competency based education.

The focus of this article is the increasingly narrow range of therapeutic orientations represented in clinical psychology graduate training programs, particularly within the most research-oriented programs. Data on the self-reported therapeutic orientations of faculty at “clinical science” Ph.D. programs, Ph.D. programs at comprehensive universities in clinical and in counseling psychology, Psy...

Residency programs provide physicians with in-depth specialty training (usually lasting 3-6 years). Can the quality of that training be judged by the downstream outcomes of patients treated by their g...
