<p dir="auto">Run as a mixed cohort of researchers and patients/family/caregivers (PFCs).  While the course costs $800, there are 15 fully funded placed for PFCs to participate.</p>
<p dir="auto">Having completed this course earlier this year, I can't recommend it highly enough.  The work is primarily project based, and while intense, it is both transformative and satisfying.</p>
<p dir="auto"><em><strong>From their site:</strong></em><br />
The FER Course is a 10-week (~30 hours) online course co-instructed by people with lived and living experience and researchers. The course is unique in that it is designed to build trusting relationships. We achieve this by enabling co-learning in a supportive and welcoming environment. For every individual who is trained, we empower them with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to meaningfully engage in research.</p>
