CAM Research Education Partnership Project

描述(由申请人提供)：这项建议的广泛、长期目标是促进补充和替代医学(CAM)从业者的循证保健(EBH)实践。西北健康科学大学(NWHSU)是美国中西部最大的经认证的CAM教育机构之一，提供脊椎疗法、按摩疗法和针灸/东方医学教育项目。通过与明尼苏达大学经验丰富的教育团队合作，该项目将使NWHSU能够将EBH和信息管理(IM)应用于CAM教育和临床设置。本项目的具体目标如下：1.开发和实施研究课程，以提高CAM学生的循证医疗(EBH)和信息管理(IM)技能。2.设计和实施教师发展计划，发展教师的EBH和IM技能，让他们参与将EBH/IM整合到整个课程中，并为他们提供创新的工具来模拟和教授EBH和IM。3.为CAM现场从业人员设计和实施研究生培训计划，以提高他们实践EBH和IM的能力。4.为CAM教师、学生和从业者提供一系列的实践经验，使他们能够锻炼他们的EBH和IM技能，并激发他们参与临床研究的兴趣。5.通过使用定量和定性结果对学习者的知识、态度和行为进行系统测量，对拟议的研究性培训计划进行评估。拟议的项目将通过将EBH/IM整合到NWHSU的所有三个CAM教育项目中，影响到未来和现在的大量CAM从业者。这将促进综合护理的实践，提高CAM从业者提供以知识为基础、有效、跨学科、协作和以患者为中心的服务的能力。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The broad, long-term objective of this proposal is to facilitate the practice of evidence-based health care (EBH) among complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practitioners. Northwestern Health Sciences University (NWHSU) is one of the largest accredited CAM educational institutions in the Midwestern United States and home to chiropractic, massage therapy, and acupuncture/Oriental medicine educational programs. Through collaboration with an experienced educational team from the University of Minnesota, this project will allow NWHSU to apply EBH and information management (IM) to CAM educational and clinical settings. This project has the following specific aims: 1. To develop and implement a research curriculum to enhance CAM students' evidence-based healthcare (EBH) and information management (IM) skills. 2. To design and implement a faculty development program that will develop faculty's EBH and IM skills, engage them in integrating EBH/IM throughout the curricula and provide them with innovative tools to model and teach EBH and IM. 3. To design and implement a post-graduate training program for CAM field practitioners that will facilitate their ability to practice EBH and IM. 4. To provide CAM faculty, students, and practitioners a range of practical experiences that will allow them to exercise their EBH and IM skills and stimulate interest in participating in clinical research. 5. To assess the proposed research training programs through systematic measurement of learners' knowledge, attitudes, and behavior using quantitative and qualitative outcomes. The proposed project will affect a large number of CAM practitioners, both future and present, through the integration of EBH/IM in all three of NWHSU's CAM educational programs. This will facilitate the practice of integrated care, enhancing CAM practitioners' ability to provide services that are knowledge-based, effective, interdisciplinary, collaborative, and patient-centered.
