  • Research Learning Series (RLS) - Community Engaged Research: What and How?

    Apr 2, 2024

    Emergency medicine has always been a community-focused specialty. The nature of the services we provide means we meet our patients in some of their most vulnerable moments. As clinician-researchers, fostering community-engaged research not only protects the populations who trust us with their care but strengthens our research. But what is community-engaged research? Why does it matter and how can we put it into practice?

    In this Research Learning Series (RLS) webinar, we discuss community-engaged research and why it matters and outline strategies for the practice of community-engaged research in the context of emergency medicine.
