Assisted Learning Sessions in Research Methodology: The Research Question for UNAH Medical Residency Programs
Between October 28 and 30, 2025, three Assisted Learning Sessions in Research Methodology titled “The Research Question” were held, organized by the General Coordination of Graduate Programs of the Faculty of Medical Sciences at the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH) and the Research and Academic Management Unit of Hospital Escuela, with the support of The Global Health Network Latin America and the Caribbean (TGHN LAC) Honduras team.
Prior to the session, participants registered on The Global Health Network Latin America and the Caribbean (TGHN LAC) Platform (https://lac.tghn.org/) and completed the online course The Research Question.
During the activities, topics were addressed related to strategic research lines, postgraduate work regulations, ethical considerations, and the use of academic tools such as ORCiD and Google Scholar. In addition, the algorithm for the development of research projects conducted in and with Hospital Escuela was presented.
The session was facilitated by the TGHN LAC Honduras team and the Research and Academic Management Unit of Hospital Escuela, enabling participants to formulate and analyze research questions considering their pertinence, relevance, and feasibility within the clinical and academic context.
Each session was held in person at the Faculty of Medical Sciences as part of the Assisted Learning Sessions Program in Research Methodology, promoted by the Research and Academic Management Unit of Hospital Escuela and The Global Health Network Latin America and the Caribbean.
These sessions, aimed at medical residents from various specialties, sought to strengthen research capacities applied to clinical practice, promoting the formulation of relevant and feasible research questions within the institutional context.
