PIR Training

[Kim Locke]

Re: What kind of training do we need to be partners in research?

How do I obtain PIR training? Do I need to put together a team of other people that need this training?

Thanks,

Kim Locke

@Kim-Locke Kim, a very good question. I hope others are aware of some PIR training but I am not. I do know that SPOR (Strategy for Patient Oriented Research) is undergoing a "refresh" so they may be waiting until that is done to offer more or newer training.

You could also check your local SPOR unit - they exist in most every province -- and they sometimes offer this training. Hope that helps. Alies

@Kim-Locke The new Passerelle website lists opportunities for training in patient-oriented research offered by various research groups across Canada. Take a look:
