Primary Care Research Forum

 

The Primary Care Research Forum is offered jointly by the Departments of Family Medicine, General Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Social and Preventive Medicine to encourage scholarship and research in primary health care, health care delivery and medical education.

These sessions provide a forum for interdisciplinary collegial support and interaction to foster research productivity, address problems and brainstorm solutions. Formats include presentations of findings from completed research, theoretical and methodological issues, or budding ideas for a research project, grant or manuscript in need of nurturing (a.k.a. "balloon sessions").

Each session also has specific learning objectives with respect to medical teaching, scholarship, academic career management and clinical practice to improve care for patients in underserved populations.

The University at Buffalo (UB) School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
