Attendance & Evaluation
Introduction
The Rockefeller University Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) partnered with
Clinical Directors Network (CDN), a primary care practice-based research network (PBRN) to create community-academic partnerships to conduct clinical and translational research in medically underserved settings including HRSA-funded Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). CCTS and CDN have implemented a distance learning program to engage community-based practicing primary care clinicians.
Methods
A series of fourteen one-hour CME-accredited webcasts (eSeminars) included virtual lectures or simulcasts of CCTS Clinical Research Seminars presented by CCTS Faculty and Clinical Scholars over a 2.5 year period.
Topics reflected the intersection of CCTS Faculty expertise,
CDN’s clinicians and clinical needs of FQHCs. Viewer/attendees completed an online evaluation at the end of each session.
Results
A total of 483 participants from over 46 states and US territories completed the sessions.
Respondents included physicians (15%), dentists (6%), nurse practitioners (9%), nurses (36%), and administrators (9%).
To date, 60% of presenters not previously involved in community-engaged research have begun to conduct studies in FQHCs and/or have submitted funding proposals to conduct community-engaged research.
Conclusions
This interactive approach served as the initial interaction between
CCTS’s Faculty and Clinical
Scholars and CDN’s community-based primary care clinicians. There is interest among communitybased primary care clinicians in participating in CCTS studies, with nursing professionals comprising nearly 40% of participants. This indicates an under-recognized opportunity for engaging nursing professionals in conducting community-engaged research, and strong interest among
CCTS faculty and scholars in developing studies with FQHC-based clinicians. This distance learning platform promotes bi-directional community-engaged research.
