Residency programs often provide residents with 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 MUE, research, and CQI projects, describing the implementation approach and publishability difference. The podcast will also shed some light on how some MUEs can evolve into research and the role of IRB.
