Evidence Informed Practice: Faculty and Curriculum Development

项目摘要/摘要 NCCAM的使命是通过严格的科学调查，确定 补充和替代医学(CAM)干预措施及其在改善健康方面的作用 和医疗保健。最新的《战略计划》明确增加了目标，即 关于使用CAM并将其融入医疗保健和健康促进的决策“和战略 目的提高现场开展严谨研究的能力。在过去15年里 NCCAM支持对CAM/中西医结合疗效的研究，产生了丰富的 可用于临床决策的证据。为了更好地利用这一证据，CAM机构需要 提高师生研究性教育的质量和数量。这是《纽约时报》的焦点 NCCAM R25资助计划名为“CAM实践者研究教育项目资助伙伴关系”， 与研究密集型机构合作，授予了一小部分CAM机构。 该方案特别侧重于循证医学(EBM)，通过提高对循证医学的理解和 对生物医学研究的欣赏。这一倡议非常成功，并为传播 其他CAM机构现已存在。此K07项目的目标是开发证据知情实践 (EIP)用于教师发展和太平洋针灸和东方医学(AOM)硕士课程 东方医学院(PCOM)，美国最大的东方医学院。这个项目将 利用连续两次授予西北健康科学大学的R25赠款 (NWHSU)，与明尼苏达大学合作，为教职员工开发EIP课程 发展和他们的CAM程序(包括AOM)。候选人将由以下方面的专家指导： 阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院的教育研究和综合医学教育 赞助机构；以及NWHSU的R25联合PI和EIP首席讲师。她将有权访问所有 NWHSU EIP材料和专业知识，并将在NWHSU停留四周。课程作业将在 爱因斯坦和哥伦比亚大学的教育研究，以及循证医学和CAM研究的研讨会。这个 K07项目的具体目标是：1.培养候选人的教育研究技能，使其成为 独立研究员和EIP教育专家，2.通过以下方式开发EIP教师培训和课程 评估、设计、开发、实施和评估EIP教师发展计划和EIP PCOM-NY AOM硕士项目的课程，以及3.分析EIP的结果 课程，以及对机构文化的影响。项目结束后，候选人将寻求独立资金，以 在其三个校区的所有PCOM学位项目中实施EIP，并传播材料和 专业知识传授给其他东方医学院校。该项目将利用NCCAM的R25投资，以及 提高AOM专业在临床实践中理解和使用研究的能力。

Project Summary/Abstract The mission of NCCAM is to define, through rigorous scientific investigation, the usefulness and safety of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) interventions and their roles in improving health and health care. The most recent Strategic Plan specifically adds the goal to "Enable better evidence-based decision making regarding CAM use and its integration into health care and health promotion" and the strategic objective to "Improve the capacity of the field to carry out rigorous research". Over the past fifteen years NCCAM has supported research into the efficacy of CAM/integrative medicine producing a rich source of evidence that can be used for clinical decisions. To better utilize this evidence CAM institutions need to improve the quality and quantity of research education for faculty and students. This was the focus of the NCCAM R25 grant program called the 'CAM Practitioner Research Education Project Grant Partnership', which was awarded to a small number of CAM institutions in partnership with research-intensive institutions. The program was specifically focused on evidence-based medicine (EBM) by enhancing understanding and appreciation of biomedical research. This initiative was very successful, and an opportunity for dissemination to other CAM institutions now exists. The goals of this K07 project are to develop evidence informed practice (EIP) for faculty development and in the acupuncture and oriental medicine (AOM) Master's program at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine (PCOM), the largest Oriental medicine college in the US. This project will leverage the two successive R25 grants that were awarded to Northwestern Health Sciences University (NWHSU), in collaboration with the University of Minnesota, which developed EIP curricula for faculty development and their CAM programs (including AOM). The candidate will be mentored by: experts in education research and integrative medical education at Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Einstein), the sponsoring institution; and the R25 co-PI and lead EIP instructor at NWHSU. She will have access to all the NWHSU EIP materials and expertise and will spend four weeks at NWHSU. Coursework will be undertaken in education research at Einstein and Columbia University, and workshops in EBM and CAM research. The specific aims of the K07 project are: 1. To develop the education research skills of the candidate to become an independent researcher and expert in EIP education, 2. To develop EIP faculty training and curriculum by assessing, designing, developing, implementing and evaluating an EIP faculty development program and EIP curriculum within the AOM Master's program at PCOM-NY, and 3. To analyze the outcomes of the EIP curriculum, and impact on institutional culture. After the project the candidate will seek independent funding to implement EIP in all PCOM degree programs across it's three campuses, and disseminate the materials and expertise to other colleges of Oriental medicine. This project will leverage NCCAM's R25 investment, and improve the capacity of the AOM profession to understand and use research in clinical practice.
