The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is emphasizing the importance of Practice-Based Research (PBR) as a practical and real-world approach to advancing clinical research. Few physicians have training in the importance of and how to implement PBR. We host periodic one-day CME workshops to inform clinical faculty how to conduct PBR within their clinics to advance this important clinical research initiative.

- Expands awareness and access to integrative care across healthcare
- Enhance motivation and ability of clinical faculty to direct and conduct funded Practice-Based Research
- Identify resources, structures, and processes needed to support faculty in conducting PBR
- Create actionable ideas for multiple PBR projects that engage clinical teams
