| Sumario: | "This book became a natural extension of our previous book, Principles of Research Design and Drug Literature Evaluation (Aparasu and Bentley). The previous book emphasized principles and execution of scientific research with a focus on a detailed discussion of clinical research designs, statistical analysis, and evidence-based medicine principles that readers could use to carry out research and apply evidence to patient care. However, there was a need for a book that can help our student pharmacists and residents who are beginning their journeys as researchers. The vision for this book evolved over discussions about the challenges and successes of PharmD and residency research projects at our respective institutions. This book speaks directly to the challenges of PharmD and residency research and provides novice researchers and their mentors with a practical and systematic framework that can be used for conducting practice-based research in pharmacy settings. The goal of this companion book is to provide student pharmacists and residents a practical and systematic framework or a "how-to and hands-on" focus for initiating and conducting practice-based research in pharmacy settings. The concepts and components found in this book have evolved over years of refinement in facing challenges and experiencing successes in teaching and mentoring student pharmacists and residents during their research projects. It is designed for student pharmacists and residents who undertake a capstone or standalone research project as part of their professional training, and we hope it serves as a valuable resource to enhance the research quality of PharmD and residency projects. This book focuses on practical approaches and considerations for conducting practice-based research highlighting how to leverage existing resources and infrastructure at academic institutions and practice settings to enhance a research project. There is a special emphasis on learner-involved research in each chapter, highlighting the application of concepts in the chapter through example research that involved or was conducted by students or residents (or both)"--
