2017 IIMS Community Engagement Symposium
Promoting Community and Academic Partnerships for Health Equity Research
Translational science describes how research discoveries are translated from basic science, to clinical practice, to public health benefit. The IIMS Community Engagement Symposium addresses methods for developing and enhancing community and academic partnerships for the translation of research. Our goal this year is to share examples and perceptions of how community and academic partnerships can be used as a strategy to translate research for health equity. Together, patients, families, communities and researchers will learn how they can work together to design, implement and share quality research that has far-reaching effects on important community health outcomes.
AUDIENCE
We invite community members, students, healthcare practitioners, and investigators interested in community and academic research partnerships to attend.
PLENARY SPEAKERS
The High Plains Research Network (HPRN) works with rural practices, hospitals, health care facilities, and communities to provide excellent care for all by translating the best scientific evidence into everyday clinical practice.
