Peer Review in Patient-Oriented Research: A Hands-on Workshop for Patient Partners and Students

ZOOM LINK: https://ucalgary.zoom.us/j/96004642725?pwd=Z3JQYWlDWVhFNmorclE1enRjWGFCdz09

Patient partners are often asked to be Patient-Oriented Research (POR) peer reviewers for conference abstracts, grant funding applications, publications, course modules and more. This task can be daunting to those unfamiliar with the peer-review process and more so to patient partners unsure of how to apply their POR knowledge to their evaluations. 

This discussion-oriented session will be delivered in 3 parts: the first phase will orient audience members to the peer review process and share insights from our patient partners experiences with peer review processes; in the second phase we will share an assessment tool that aligns with the CIHR Patient-Oriented Research (POR) Patient Engagement Framework; the third phase will invite audience members to participate in an open discussion, facilitated by Dr. Dawn Richards, where attendees can provide feedback on the tool, and ask questions to the presenters. This offers an opportunity for attendees to comment on their experiences with peer review, the tool and its usability, as well as any other insights or perspectives helpful to co-developing the tool and other related educational resources.
