Workshop #3: Infusing research Qi into your career: Navigating the spectrum of resources for enhancing research skills and promoting diverse perspectives

Presenters:Peter Wayne, PhD and Maria Chao, PhD

To assure the validity, effectiveness, and social relevance of acupuncture research, and to support disseminating research findings into clinical care, the participation of a broad spectrum of stakeholders in research, including practitioners, is essential. This workshop will map out ways clinicians can develop research knowledge and contribute to evidence-based acupuncture. These include enhancing research literacy, designing and delivering treatments in research studies, publishing case studies, and transitioning to a professional research career.  Building on their diverse and complementary research careers, workshop presenters will provide resources, strategies and practical tips for clinicians interested in adding research Qi into their professional and personal journeys.
