Workshop Description:
This no-nonsense workshop is both inspiring and productive. Bring only your curiosity and passion for EMS. We will surround you with data and the resources to advance EMS with science. Participants will work in small groups to identify a research question, design a project, gather data, analyze results and craft publishable abstracts. Expert researchers, medical directors, statisticians, developers and academic staff combine their efforts to remove barriers and empower EMS providers at all levels to turn their ideas into formal abstracts. Participants work with faculty to identify critical problems facing prehospital workforce and care today especially in areas where there is limited evidence to guide practice.

For the CARESTAR-PCRF Equity Research Workshop groups will focus on the important issue of diversity, equity and inclusivity in the EMS workforce and care delivery system.  We will have use of national databases with staff on site to query deidentified records and provide immediate results.

Some projects may have access to patient outcomes, but all groups will benefit from a team of statisticians collaborating to recommend, perform and interpret their analysis. Participants will also get post-workshop assistance in abstract submission, full paper authoring and dissemination of results. In just three fun and engaging days, this hands-on approach will turn your ideas into publishable research, and actionable results.

At the conclusion of this workshop participants will be able to:
  • Use the PICO method to formulate and design a prehospital care research project,
  • Perform a literature search and review,
  • Design and implement a scientific method to investigate a research question,
  • Understand where to find and how to consult with statistical and epidemiological experts,
  • Work in teams to analyze research results and apply various models of data analysis,
  • Write a publishable abstract and present research findings using an academic conference framework.
