From a clinical question to a published paper, with help wherever you get stuck.從一個臨床問題，到一篇發表的論文，卡住的地方都有人幫你。
Research mentoring for residents, fellows and early-career attending physicians who want to do research and have not yet published. You work at your own pace, ask by message whenever you are stuck, and get a written reply from Dr. Tsai, a radiologist who has taught clinicians research methods and writing for more than a decade.
給想做研究、但還沒有發表過的住院醫師、研究醫師與年輕主治醫師的研究指導。你用自己的步調做，卡住時隨時用訊息發問，由蔡依橙醫師以文字回覆。蔡醫師是放射科醫師，教臨床醫師研究方法與寫作已超過十年。

The six stages where people most often get stuck最常卡住的六個階段
After many years of teaching, Dr. Tsai has found that these are the six stages where participants most often get stuck. Together they are his picture of the whole publication process. The six stages are a map, not a sequence of gates: physicians move back and forth between them. What feels like a problem with a figure is often a question or a design that needs another look, and going back is part of the work. Ask Dr. Tsai from wherever you are.
多年教學下來，蔡醫師發現學員最常卡在這六個階段，合起來也是他對整個發表過程的理解。六個階段是一張地圖，不是一道道關卡，醫師會在階段之間來回。你以為是圖表的問題，常常其實是題目或研究設計需要再想一想，退回前面本來就是工作的一部分。不管你卡在哪裡，都可以來問蔡醫師。
