The Workforce Development Program is pivotal as Wake Forest University School of Medicine evolves its role as the Academic Core of Advocate Health. A well-trained, multi-disciplinary workforce is foundational to an aLHS. Training provides aLHS research teams with tools to understand the barriers and facilitators to implementation in real-world care settings and the knowledge to design rigorous and feasible studies. This will be done using a variety of modalities and programmatic efforts, outlined by the program’s objectives:
- Engage research staff with education and training programs in clinical research conduct, community-engagement, implementation, and health system improvement.
- Expand curricular offerings in team science and leadership and reach a wider range of faculty/staff.
- Foster diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices to increase the diversity of the research workforce, which will also help promote research participant diversity.
