Purpose

The PATIENTS Professors Academy is a 5-week online training program that prepares participants to learn about patient-centered practices within their work and communities. It is an opportunity to interact with and learn from a diverse population about how to engage communities in research. A focus is on populations most impacted by health inequity.

Learning objectives:

  • Be able to represent, teach, and apply the 10-Step Engagement Framework in working with clinical researchers
  • Demonstrate the value of patient-centered outcomes research through evidence-based engagement strategies
  • Find, learn about, and create ways for patients and communities to share their voice and concerns in clinical research
  • Support patients, community members, and researchers in creating a common language to address community concerns in research
  • Bridge gaps, understand unique perspectives, and identify common goals of patients and researchers
  • Exercise cultural humility to create mutually beneficial research partnerships
  • Gain the tools to understand research design and protocols applied within their communities

Activities:

  • A one-hour weekly online interactive seminar taking place in the evening
  • Write a weekly reflection and read the reflections of other participants
  • Recommended essential readings
  • Round tables and discussion panels
