Research and the Community

To successfully translate research into practice, engaging the community in research efforts is essential. This series of online courses, which focuses on research and the community, introduces the concept of community-engaged research, as well as the idea of social responsibility as a scientist or research team member.

CME: College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, designates this educational activity for a maximum of one AMA PRA Category 1 Credit.
