Seminars & Education


One of the key elements of the COHO and COR missions is to aid in the training of researchers that may contribute to health services research.  One of the educational opportunities offered is the Primary Care Research Fellowship (led by Dr. Alison Kempe), which provides 2-year training programs for physicians in the specialties of general internal medicine, general pediatrics, and family medicine.

COR and COHO faculty also exhibit a strong dedication to mentorship, coaching and instruction for both students and junior faculty.  Discussion sessions are held routinely to present on-going projects, build knowledge among colleagues, and exchange lessons learned in methodological and technical approaches.  Our tradition of standing seminars allow students, junior faculty and research discover new ideas, methods, findings and publication issues.  The presentations also allow faculty and staff to present and teach about their research methods and findings.

Qualitative Research Methods Forum

The Qualitative Research Methods Forum (QRMF) is a community of researchers, faculty, students, and organizations focused on the practice and development of qualitative health research. We are dedicated to building interdisciplinary qualitative research knowledge and skills through multidirectional exchanges of methodological insight, expertise and resources. As an innovative, inter-institutional community of practice, we seek to support the development and implementation of translational and health disparities research through the use of qualitative methodologies.

Schedule:

QRMF meets twice each semester. Beginning in 2013, presentations will occur on the 2nd Thursday of the following months: February, April, September, and November. All presentations are at 12-1 pm. Participants are welcome to attend either in person or via webconference.

Research Methods & Statistics Discussion Series

The Research Methods & Statistics Discussion Series sessions are designed for analysts and investigators to meet and discuss methodological issues in study design and analysis. Presenters are strongly encouraged to illustrate the research method or statistical technique they present by using data from a current project. Having a handout will enable all participants to leave the session with a concrete example to help them apply the method presented.

Past topics include:

    • GEE & conditional logistic regression
    • Missing QOL data in longitudinal study
    • Calculating sample sizes for nested case control studies
    • Moderation and mediation in longitudinal studies

 

Schedule: These sessions are held as presentations of relevant topics arise, with dates and times TBA, and are open to the entire campus community.

Location:  Anschutz Medical Campus, University Physicians, Inc (UPI) building at 13199 E Montview Blvd, Suite 300, Aurora, CO 80045
