Enriching Recruitment via Implementation Science
Featuring Drs. Kristian Stensland and Shellie Ellis
October 21-22, 2024
UW-Madison Campus – Health Sciences Learning Center
Registration still open–click for details
We welcome scientists and other learners who want to learn more about implementation science and recruitment of participants in research efforts and clinical trials. The event offers interactive sessions that navigate the steps from concept and design to adaptation and implementation in practice, draw on real-world examples from health care and community settings, and offer insights from community experts. There is no cost to attend.
At the end of the short course, participants will be able to:
- Understand principles and practices to engage and partner with community and clinical representatives
- Describe how implementation science frameworks, strategies, and tools can be used to
- Create a recruitment plan in human subjects research and
- Discern which strategies might be most useful for recruitment efforts
- Apply health equity recruitment strategies in their research, ensuring recruitment goals are not just numerical but also equitable, inclusive, and representative
