Research Subcommittee
Research. The word sends shivers down
the spines of many residents. Why do
some of us dread it so much? Is there
any way to change our feelings about
research? With the help of the Section
of Residents of the College of Family
Physicians of Canada (CFPC), we have
compiled a Top 10 list of questions
many residents ask. Through this list
we hope to debunk some of the myths,
offer some useful resources, and take
away some of the dread.

AFPRN Ethics - Ethical Concerns
Encountered in Community Practice
Research: Common Concerns Encountered by

Practice Research Network
Researchers routinely approach family
physicians to recruit patients into
their projects. AFPRN is a resource,
which researchers can access if they
wish to recruit family physicians and
their patients into research projects.
As a service to family physicians, the
AFPRN steering committee reviews
research projects to assess their
relevance and determine if they are
appropriate for family physicians to
become involved in. Thus, family
physicians can rest assured that their
peers have assessed an AFPRN-approved
project. The purpose of this paper is
to describe some common concerns
encountered when assessing research
projects. We believe that it is
important to describe these concerns so
that community physicians are aware of
potential ethical and legal problems
they may encounter in projects not
reviewed by AFPRN.
