Patient-Oriented Research Training Practicum

The Maritime SPOR SUPPORT Unit offers a 2.5-hour Patient-Oriented Research training practicum for individuals who have completed the four modules of the CIHR-IMHA’s e-learning A How-to-Guide to Patient Engagement in Research. This hands-on practicum focuses on patient engagement in the Maritimes and provides practical advice, resources, and opportunities for networking and discussion.

Our content is responsive to the learning needs of participants and aims to help participants take the first steps in patient engagement in research, offering guidance to address common challenges and ensure meaningful engagement. Topics may include: recruiting for diversity, creating welcoming inclusive spaces, navigating power dynamics, considerations for engaging people who have experienced inequities, and trauma-informed engagement practices.
