Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the necessary skills for a beginning researcher in family medicine, utilizing the views of those currently conducting research in the specialty. A Delphi study, involving three questionnaires, was conducted to determine skills needed in the following areas: designing a research project, conducting a research project, statistical knowledge and/or skills, and computer skills. Participants were 32 family physicians who had published at least one article in the Journal of Family Practice (1983-84) or Family Medicine (1983-84). The Delphi technique was successful in achieving consensus among study participants. A total of 77 skills were identified in the four areas as being at least somewhat important to the beginning family medicine investigator. Thirty-eight of these skills were identified as important to extremely important.
