This lecture will introduce students to why it’s important to include people with lived and living experience (PWLLE) in health research and how this is done in practice. Using a learning health system approach as a helpful example, we will explore how PWLLE can help shape research questions, methods, and how results are understood and shared.
The goal is to give students a clear, practical understanding of how and why PWLLE are engaged in health research, and the value this brings to improving research and health outcomes.
This opportunity is looking for a co-presenter alongside Dr. Amy Grant, MSSU Interim Executive Director.
