To fulfill the seminar requirement, you may choose from the following four seminars.
Community Engagement in Health Services Research Social & Administrative Sciences
S&A PHM 703
Offered through the School of Pharmacy
Students will sign up for 1-2 credits of independent study with Dr. Olufunmilola Abraham, PhD, MS, BPharm, at olufunmilola.abraham@wisc.edu. Permission required to enroll.
Course Description
Apply principles of community engagement in the field of health services research. Read and interpret relevant articles, and discuss implications of these readings. Learn existing models and practical approaches for successfully partnering with community stakeholders to address health and medication-related needs through research.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course, learners will:
Delineate the types of community stakeholders and processes for entering communities based on the Wisconsin idea.
Identify existing infrastructure to conduct community engaged research projects and develop sustainable partnerships.
Apply principles and models for designing community engaged research.
Develop a grant proposal and a community stakeholder engagement plan using principles of team science.
Attend and participate in the annual D & I Seminar offered annually by ICTR.
Dissemination Research and Implementation Science Seminar (DRISS)
POP HLTH 699
Offered through the Department of Medicine and the Dissemination and Implementation Launchpad
Students will sign up for 1 credit of independent study with Dr. Heidi Wendell Brown, MD, MAS FACOG.
Procedures for enrolling for credit
E-mail Heidi Brown (hwbrown2@wisc.edu) for permission to enroll.
If you receive permission, forward the e-mail that states Professor Brown’s permission and your UW Student ID number to Terrie Howe at thowe2@wisc.edu and Deidre Vincevineus at vincevineus@wisc.edu.
A slot will be saved for you in POP HLTH 699.
As soon as your slot appears in the system, the Population Health department will send you an e-mail telling you to go ahead and enroll in POP HLTH 699.
Course Description
DRISS is an informal lunchtime seminar that is open to University of Wisconsin faculty, staff, students, and community members interested in dissemination and implementation research. DRISS meets for 90 minutes every other Friday. At each meeting, someone presents information about a research project or program (in progress or completed). Then the group discusses relevant concepts in D&I research and exchanges information and ideas relevant to the project.
To fulfill the seminar requirement with the DRISS option:
E-mail di-launchpad@ictr.wisc.edu and state in your e-mail that you want to get on the listserv and start attending DRISS seminars. You will then receive announcements of upcoming DRISS sessions.
You’ll be required to attend ten DRISS sessions, one in which you will give a presentation about your research.*
Make sure your attendance is recorded by the DRISS staff person during the session.
Participate in the discussions.
Complete a guided summary of each of the ten sessions you attend—including your presentation (see guided-summary template on page two).
After you have completed ten sessions (including your presentation) and guided summaries, send your guided summaries to Deidre Vincevineus (address on the template).
* note: There will not always be ten DRISS sessions in a single semester. Typically, students begin attending DRISS sessions and then enroll for credit in the last semester when they give their presentation. Enrolled DRISS students who have not met requirements for credit will receive a grade of “incomplete” until they’re able to fulfill all requirements listed above.
Course Objectives
To gain additional information on specific research problems or advanced training in the areas covered by department staff.
3. Implementation of Systems Interventions in Healthcare
ISyE 859
Offered through the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
Students will sign up for 2 or 3 credits of independent study with Dr. Edmond Ramly, PhD. Email: edmond.ramly@fammed.wisc.edu.
Course Description
Systems approach to implementation of interventions to improve healthcare processes and outcomes, including evidence-based practices and technological innovations. Complementary models, methods, and applications from human factors engineering and implementation science.
Course Objectives
Overall: Gain an understanding of how implementations of system interventions in healthcare are conducted and evaluated, from the complementary perspectives of human factors engineering and implementation science. Specifically:
Explain the similarities and differences between different frameworks related to implementation of system interventions.
Describe the major components of implementation, of systems, and of interventions.
Discuss barriers and facilitators to implementation and strategies to overcome barriers and promote facilitators.
Critically evaluate the methods applied in different implementation examples.
4. Presentation/Video Option
Enroll in 1 credit independent study with certificate advisor.
Option description:
There are many opportunities to attend presentations or view videos related to community engaged research, translational research, D & I research on and off campus. Students have the option to select from the Health Innovation Program Seminar (HIP) series videos, the patient safety series (https://videos.med.wisc.edu/events/40 or https://videos.med.wisc.edu/events/39) or other relevant presentations offered on or off campus. This option can be used to meet the seminar requirement by:
Attending at least 10 formal presentations on or off campus that relate to community based translational research. Many campus presentations will qualify. Many of these opportunities are announced through the ICTR newsletter or in emailed announcements from ICTR to all members. Enrolling in the certificate program will place you on this mailing list. OR
Combining HIP and/or patient safety video series viewing with attendance at relevant presentations, a combination of the three options listed above (HIP, Patient Safety, and presentations).
After attending the seminar, formal presentations or viewing the videos, write a short 1-2 page discussion of how the experience is relevant to the research you are currently engaged in or might be relevant to future research.
When you find a presentation you think will qualify, please send the information to your certificate advisor for approval. Students can attend related presentations on or off campus.
When completed, send the final list of presentation and brief written discussions to Deidre Vincevineus (vincevineus@wisc.edu).
