We’re excited to launch the NEXT STEPs Experiential Learning Program (ELP). This program is designed for early career nursing home researchers, as well as researchers transitioning to work in the nursing home setting.
Participant Information
The ELP provides a structured and supported entry point into the nursing home clinical environment. The goal is to familiarize researchers with the day to day workflows of this environment, to support the design and conduct of high quality clinical trials.
Each ELP includes education on core content describing nursing home workflow, staff roles, environment, resident population, and resources. This core content will be supplemented by a “Day in the Community” experience in a nursing home.
Nursing Home Information
Our innovative ELP matches interested researchers with skilled centers for day-long immersive learning experiences. The goal is to help researchers gain insights that will lead to projects tailored to industry realities and needs. Facilities that offer to host will be compensated by an honorarium.
