The PICOT research question is widely used throughout the medical field, whether you're a Clinician, Physician, or Student. Creating a detailed and purposeful research question is one of the first steps into investigating different sources of knowledge, and conducting one's own evidence based research to learn about a topic or condition, and further their knowledge. This research is evidence based as it involves studies or reviews conducted by colleagues in the same or related disciplines. In turn, creating studies, and being able to conduct the research for further knowledge is a shared initiative between clinicians and researchers. <ref name=":0">Riva John J, Malik Keshena M.P, Burnie Stephen J, Endicott Andrea R, Busse Jason W.

Introduction[edit | edit source]
The PICOT research question is widely used throughout the medical field, whether you're a Clinician, Physician, or Student. Creating a detailed and purposeful research question is one of the first steps into investigating different sources of knowledge, and conducting one's own evidence based research to learn about a topic or condition, and further their knowledge. This research is evidence based as it involves studies or reviews conducted by colleagues in the same or related disciplines. In turn, creating studies, and being able to conduct the research for further knowledge is a shared initiative between clinicians and researchers. [1]
