PATIENTS Program, Part 1: The PATIENTS 10-Step Framework as a Community Engagement Tool

This is part one of a series, part two Continuous Engagement after the PATIENTS Professors Academy: Methods and Pathways webinar is scheduled on Feb 27, 2024

The PATIENTS Program is an interdisciplinary research team of community partners and researchers housed at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy that works to change the way we think about research by creating a path for health equity in West Baltimore.

The 10-Step Framework for Continuous Engagement was originally developed to enhance Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) and Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER). The 10-Step Framework provides a model for how anyone can authentically and continuously engage in fostering community-academic partnerships.

This webinar will explain how the PATIENTS Program’s 10-Step Framework for Continuous Engagement aligns evidence-based engagement methods throughout and across research projects. Participants will define and identify authentic community engagement and what is not community engagement. Participants will also learn the significance of community partnerships in research and how to identify and value the contributions of credible messengers and community-based research partners.
