RESEARCH CAPACITY BUILDING IN PRIMARY HEALTH CARE [PHCRED]PHCRED Educational Activities for Research Capacity Building The University of Sydney Discipline of General Practice Research Capacity Building Program aims to provide a range of options for people to increase their research and evaluation skills. For many practitioners the priority is to learn some of the skills required to "find and apply research" in their daily practice. To assist with this, we have developed an online course in Basic Critical Thinking that aims to introduce some of these skills in a clinically relevant manner. These topics can also be used for face-to-face small group learning. For further information about obtaining these small group resource kits please contact Dr Lyndal Trevena Ph: 02 9818 1400 or email: lyndal@gp.med.usyd.edu.au. For many Discipline staff and practitioners involved in local projects there is a need for improving measurement and evaluation skills and an increasing range of workshops and seminars are being run and promoted to facilitate this, along with some innovative flexible learning in population health (PHEC). For those who wish to develop some of the skills required to become an active and independent researcher we are working in partnership with The University of Sydney School of Public Health to provide both coursework and research higher degree options for this purpose. For further details about any of the above options please contact: Dr Lyndal Trevena |
