According to editor Dr. Ernesto Guerra “The objective of this book is to initiate and motivate Spanish-speaking surgeons to do research. Sometimes language can be a hurdle to understand basic and advanced EBM principles.” This book partnered English-speaking methods experts (mostly from McMaster) with Spanish-speaking clinical experts in Spain so that every chapter represents a true international collaborative effort.
Impact
This book aims to help Spanish-speaking surgeons and trainees to develop basic and advanced research methodology skills.
