Collaborative Conversations: The Critical Need for Professional Workforce Development at Academic Medical Centers
The purpose of this meeting is to use an Un-Meeting format to enhance focused discussions on topics related to workforce development for clinical research professionals (CRPs) working in academic medical centers (AMCs), especially those that are working on federally-funded clinical research.
Originally planned as a face-to-face half-day event, we are now converting these collaborative conversations into a series of virtual sessions, continuing to use un-meeting principles.
Key Goal:
The goal is to share perspectives on the challenges and successes in conducting federally funded clinical research with a focus on developing actionable ways to drive improvement. The focus will be on workforce development initiatives and the generation of new ideas and collaborative teams.
Objectives:
Through active collaborative conversations in the “Virtual Un-Meeting”, participants will:
- Summarize the historical evolutions of clinical research professional workforce development and professionalization.
- Learn and apply the “Un-Meeting” process as a method of team science collaboration and communication.
- Contribute to key discussions, solution finding and collaborations for key topics related to clinical research professional workforce development, especially focusing on the academic medical center workforce.
- Impact future initiatives and research by becoming a member of new interactive teams, participating in key meeting outputs or generating local outputs.
The Un-Meeting Concept:
The Un-Meeting is different from a traditional passive conference. Rather, this is a highly interactive meeting whereby attendees create and drive the topic discussions surrounding a common theme. This enables attendees to discuss their experiences, identify areas of potential research, innovation, & collaboration. This will cultivate connections across the clinical research professionals and CTSA hubs. It further enhances team science through the collaborative nature of the format.
For additional information on the Un-Meeting process, the Center for Leading Innovation & Collaboration (CLIC) has prepared an Un-Meeting planning guide. The aim of this Un-Meeting will be to enhance clinical research professional workforce development through the creation of sustainable, collaborative relationships and initiatives. Outputs from this Un-Meeting may range from: White Papers, Collaborations, Initiatives, and connections. This video illustrates the Un-Meeting process.
Who should attend:
- Clinical research professionals with a keen interest in workforce development
- Anyone involved in hiring, managing, training and supporting the competency and career development of clinical research professionals
- Due to space limitations and to ensure a diversity of representatives across CTSAs and AMCs, we encourage only 1-2 representatives per CTSA.
Dates & Topics:
Meetings will be once a month from September 2020 – February 2021. All meetings will take place from 10am to 12pm Pacific (1pm to 3pm Eastern).
