The NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory is partnering with the Health Care Systems Research Network (HCSRN) to offer a workshop at the 2022 HCSRN Conference to be held in April in Pasadena, California.

The workshop, Essentials of Embedded Pragmatic Clinical Trials, will introduce concepts in the design, conduct, and implementation of embedded pragmatic clinical trials (ePCTs). ePCTs are randomized trials conducted within healthcare systems and use streamlined procedures and existing infrastructure to answer important medical questions for patients, providers, and healthcare system leaders.

Offered free to all conference registrants, the workshop will include firsthand ePCT experiences and case studies from the NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory. Speakers will include senior investigators from the NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory’s Trials and Coordinating Center.

Register for the conference today and add the workshop at no extra charge!
