2004 Research Network Conference Set

Vol IIX, Oct `04

The Fourth Annual Meeting of the AMDA Foundation Long Term Care Research Network is set for October 28-31 in Chicago, IL. This invitation-only conference is a goldmine of information, networking, and education for network members and features nationally known speakers addressing the issues of greatest concern for long term care researchers.

Among the highlights:

Peter Vasilenko, PhD, Chair of the University of Michigan Committee for Research Involving Human Subjects, will address, “Protecting Human Subjects and Privacy: Toward a Kinder, Gentler IRB.”
Patricia A. Parmelee, PhD, will discuss “Skill-Building: Designing a Study with the Power to Get a Meaningful Answer.”
Bernard Ewigman, MD, will expand on “The A, B, C’s of Conducting Literature Searches: Evidence-Based or Evidence-Biased?”

Participants also will have a chance to hear updates on current network research projects, discuss new and ongoing network proposals, and meet informally to share ideas, solutions, and best practices.
