Success in Academic Surgery: Clinical Trials is a unique and portable handbook that focuses on clinical trials. It includes new educational materials which are necessary to address not only the rapid evolution and rise of novel research methodologies in basic science and clinical/educational research, but also the changing environment for academic surgeons.

Aimed at medical students, surgical residents and others considering a career within surgery, Success in Academic Surgery: Clinical Trials is a valuable text which offers practical guidance on developing a career within surgical education. Written by expert authors from around the world who are members of the AAS (Association for Academic Surgery), this book looks at all aspects of clinical trials, from trial design and building a research team to statistics and getting your trial published.

Surgical education is a rapidly expanding area of surgical research and career interest, and as the Association for Academic Surgery (AAS) Fall Courses (www.aasurg.org) and International courses offer more and more specialty tracking there is a greater need for an accompanying textbook to supplement the material presented in the courses.
