“Method competencies to meet the needs of medication safety and effectiveness research”

The Research Network for Rational Pharmacotherapy (RATTI) arranges a networking event on 5 June 2019 in Helsinki (Porthania, Yliopistonkatu 3) that aims to

• identify method competencies to meet the needs of medication safety and effectiveness research, and

• promote collaboration to increase method training.

The event is intended for healthcare organisations where experts in medication safety and effectiveness research are needed and for the training units that train such experts.

The event is moderated and started with a lecture given by Director Kenneth Shermock of the Johns Hopkins University, United States. Additionally, presentations on method competence needs from the points of view of different disciplines and the participants’ pitches will be heard in the event. The event will be held entirely in English.

Pitching opportunities in the networking event

The pitching topics are method competence needs from the points of view of the participating organisations and/or the resources that can be utilised in method training.

Do this:

• Indicate the topic of your pitch when signing up.

• The pitches must also be held in English.

• You may use Power Point slides or talk without them.

• You will have a maximum of three minutes. After that, your talk will be interrupted.

• In your pitch, you can describe method competence needs from the point of view of your own organisation, tell about the resources that can be utilised in method training – or talk about both.

Answer the brief survey: what method competence needs your organisation has, what kind of experts do you need?

The survey also maps out the resources that can be utilised in method training. The survey serves as background material in the networking event. The responses can be freely utilised after the event for method training development purposes by all interested training units.
