2013 NIH Annual IPPCR Course

December 2nd, 2013 | Bethesda, MD

Dr. Ware presented the annual lecture "Quality of Life Update – 2013” for the "Introduction to the Principles and Practice of Clinical Research" course offered by the National Institutes of Health on December 3rd. This was Dr. Ware's 15th IPPCR lecture; it focused on the advantages of integrating disease-specific and generic patient reported outcome (PRO) measures while using norm-based scoring to interpret both types of PRO measures. Plans for forthcoming NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) network presentations are intended to create a "Virtual University" that will include the Clinical Center’s core clinical research curriculum.
