title: Medical education research for radiologists: a road map for developing a project.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Medical education research is challenging to do well, but researchers can develop a robust project with knowledge of basic principles. Thoughtful creation of a study question, development of a conceptual framework, and attention to study design are crucial to developing a successful project.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A thorough understanding of research methods and elements of survey design is necessary. Projects that result in changes to behavior, clinical practice, and patient outcomes have the most potential for success.
