This session is presented by the Canadian Primary Care Research Network (CPCRN) as part of the CPCRN Learning Series 2024.

#Session Description

A common problem faced by all is that it takes an average of 12-15 years before the research is taken up into practice. The Canadian Primary Care Research Network is taking leadership to create momentum to learn from and more quickly apply evidence to primary care practice and delivery. This session explores shared solutions for practice-based research and  learning networks to: a) use data to study and understand the nature of the problem (advanced analytics and population insight gear) and b) engage with patients, caregivers and clinicians in co-designing solutions using informed local data and high-quality evidence syntheses (patient, caregiver and provider codesign gear).

Presented by the National Newcomer Navigation Network (N4)

This presentation outlines the impact of transformative learning processes for participants in N4's Fostering Integration for IEHPs program. It explains how Internationally Educated Healthcare Providers (IEHPs) in this program move though the disorienting dilemmas of immigration and difficulty accessing fair employment by recovering hope and a sense of agency. Processes of self-reflection, awareness of one’s life story, critical thinking and building a sense of community lead to transformation at three levels: cognitive (changing worldviews), emotional (changing emotions) and conative (accessing one’s agency for awareness-based action).

#Learning outcomes

• Understanding the principles of transformative learning
• Awareness of the importance of “soft skills” in professional life
• Evaluate and integrate personal development strategies in one’s practice
