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, and this help advance this important clinical research initiative.
Objectives:
- Enhance motivation and ability of clinical faculty to direct/conduct funded Practice-Based Research
- Identify resources, structures, and processes needed to assist faculty further in conducting PBR research
- Create initial questions and action items for multiple PBR projects that maximize involvement of clinical faculty
