Research Techniques Made Simple (Journal-Based CME) - (RTMS) - "Methodology and clinical applications of RNA-sequencing."

 

 

Jointly Sponsored by Duke University School of Medicine and Society for Investigative Dermatology

The Research Techniques Made Simple (RTMS) articles help demystify science and allow readers to better appreciate the scientific base of dermatology. Our goal is to allow readers to better understand the featured technique as well as the results and outcomes of studies that employ it. Each RTMS article explains in simple terms a widely used laboratory or clinical-research technique that has been employed in recent scientific (and often also clinical) publications.  Each article includes downloadable PowerPoint slides appropriate for use in journal clubs or other didactic sessions.  In addition, each article includes 5 multiple-choice questions available as an online quiz, allowing CME credit to be awarded to graduate dermatology readers who desire such credit.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe a specific laboratory or clinical research technique or statistical methodology that is used to achieve a better scientific or  clinical understanding of various areas of dermatology
  • Demonstrate how the selected technique has been employed in recent dermatology peer-reviewed publications and illustrate its  relative strengths and limitations in relation to the field of dermatology.
  • Translate an understanding of a research methodology into an analysis of published data that can improve the care of patients  with various dermatologic conditions
  • Appreciate recent findings relevant to dermatologic disease pathogenesis and therapeutic advances.
