"In our last issue we noted that research comes in many forms and focused on survey-based research projects. In this issue we focus on another form, "chart review" based research. This research is performed by reviewing patient charts and analyzing the data retrospectively. In this issue, several researchers have kindly provided us with summaries of their chart review based research projects.
In this issue, we also profile general surgeon, Dr. William Mackey. We think you'll find his profile both informative and entertaining!
Please note Research Corner beginning on page 8, which includes a variety of interesting items submitted by various researchers.
Our thanks to all those who contributed to this issue"
