Learning Objectives:
By the end of this course, GGP Fellows should be able to develop and describe an integrated research project or program relevant to primary care research. This will include being able to effectively communicate a research agenda in various formats from written to oral for a range of audiences with varying levels of research experience.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Demonstrate increased competency of scientific communications
• Apply techniques and methods to develop a scientific protocol in health research

Instructional Method:
The is blended learning course meaning that portions of the course will be completed online at the Fellow’s convenience and portions will be conducted in-person (either face-to-face or virtually) with the Course Director, the Education Engineer, and the Course Faculty. Fellows are expected to be active participants for the in-person sessions as well as the online discussion forums.

Course Evaluation:
Evaluation will be based on completion of each online module, participation in the in-person sessions and completion of the milestones. 

Course Administration:
Due to potential travel constraints, our in-person sessions will enable people to attend virtually if need be.  You will need a mic, camera and reliable Wi-Fi. We strongly encourage Fellows to attend NAPCRG even if it is a virtual conference. If you face travel restrictions to the US in 2024 or 2025, we will allow participants to attend virtually.

GGP Fellows who complete the course will have access to that year’s material after the course completion.  If a Fellow has not self-selected a mentor, one will be assigned. Mentors should be met with formally at least 6 times during the year. Each GGP Fellow will also be assigned to a Course Faculty. Specific questions can be addressed by making an appointment with that Faculty member that will be done through our virtual meeting software (ZOOM).
