CME; Conceptualising Research in Medicine
Keywords:
Research, Ontology, Epistemology, Methodology, MethodsAbstract
Understanding the basic principles of research for medical professionals seems pretty intricate. This CME is aimed at presenting a thematic conceptual framework for them. The seemingly uncomprehending terms of ontology and epistemology are explained and their role in building up research concept elaborated. The methodology and methods in pursuit of the relevant ontological foundation and epistemological basis are amalgamated so that any physician can understand and explore the researching documents and explore the avenue on their own accord.
