In this special episode, Dr. Justin Morgenstern of First10EM joins us to discuss a simplified 6-step approach to primary literature. His strategy will give you the tools to feel more comfortable with taking an active role in reading and critically evaluating the literature. Step 1: How do I find a paper to read? Step 2: Is this paper worth reading? Step 3: Read the paper Step 4: Interpret the paper (stats are less important than you think) Step 5: Ask for help Step 6: Apply the research — Thanks for listening!
