Embed text that includes your “reflections” on each of the 8 core competencies in clinical research. How have you achieved these competencies? Talk about the courses that you took that related to the competencies and attach evidence of your learning achievement by appending “artifact” uploads of files related to each competency. For instance, if you were going to provide evidence of GCP knowledge, you would upload a copy of your CITI GCP Training Course Certificate. Illustrated below is a list of the competencies and a suggestion to write at least 2-3 descriptive paragraphs. After the reflection, upload as many attachments that relate to that competency that you can, from all of the work you did as a MACPR student.
For instance, in Competency 1, you could easily append the protocol you developed from Dr. Chipp’s course. You could also append PDF files of the many of the papers and assignments for pharmacology here.
Use the attached HANDOUT: MACPR Program Learning Goals and the article by Sonstein et al (2014) as a topical guide related to each competency (Core and Specialization Competencies)
- Handout- MACPR Program Learning Goals
- Sonstein et al 2014 Clinical Researcher
NOTE: Students have the option to create “sub-pages” for each Domain or insert their data as illustrated below as a single running page.
Competency 1: Scientific Concepts and Research Design
Please post your reflections directly into the webpage (not as a PDF). Each reflection should be a minimum of 2-3 paragraphs. You should define this competency and discuss what you have learned about these topical areas, your growth, experiences professionally and as a MACPR student. Under each of the reflections, append evidence of your achievements by listing courses and providing examples of work related to that competency.
- List all MACPR courses that pertain to this competency:
- NUR 7782 Research Design and Methods for Clinical and Preclinical Research (3 hrs)
- Pharmacology courses
- Physiology and Pathophysiology Courses
- Other clinical pharmacology and safety pharmacology science courses (if applicable)
- Statistics and research design courses would go here
