Residency programs often provide residents the opportunity to conduct medication use evaluations (MUE), drug utilization reviews (DUR), continuous quality improvement (CQI) reviews, and other research and quality projects. While all of these activities are valuable for the program and the resident, they are not interchangeable. This activity will compare various types of project methodologies, reviewing benefits and opportunities for each. The podcast will also shed some light on how some MUEs can evolve into research and the role of IRB.
