  1. UBC Intern Research Preceptor Orientation August 21, 2012

  2. Learning Objectives • Describe the three guiding principles of the dietetic internship research module • Describe the role of the intern research team members (preceptor, interns, internship coordinator, research advisory committee, DEC) • Explain why the “most desirable project types” provide a positive learning environment • Identify solutions for common challenges with the dietetic intern research experience

  3. Introduction • Who are you? (name please!) • What is your experience with the research module? • What do you want to learn today? (e.g. how often to be in contact with my students, how I help the students complete their ethics applications if I have never done this myself, how I get involved with the research module if I am not part of a core site)

  4. Guiding Principles • Research Module Page 1

  5. Who does what?

  6. Most Desirable Project Type • Retrospective chart review • Describe characteristics of a group • Describe RD involvement with accessible pop’n • Quant. analysis of adherence to a practice std • Survey using validated tool & accessible pop’n • A quantitative analysis of secondary anonymized or de-identified data

  7. May be Acceptable… Preceptor has the experience: • Small project • Qualitative study • Survey design • Prospective study

  8. Not Workable… • Hypothesis testing • Surveys of large scope • Projects requiring full ethics review

  9. Research Flow Chart (Appendix 5 of Research Module) Submit RP to DEC for RAC feedback Revise RP & re-submit to RAC if requested Complete RISe for review by DEC Address issues identified by DEC; inform DEC when ready for submission Address UBC provisos Forward approval certificate to local ethics board & CSIC

  10. Research Flow Chart Continued… Submit RP to DEC for RAC feedback Revise RP & re-submit to RAC if requested Complete local ethics application for review by preceptor Finalize & submit to local ethics for approval Address any local provisos Post approval certificate on RISe

  11. Research Flow Chart Continued… Conduct research Analyze results Submit abstract to DC & DEC Submit final research report to preceptor, CSIC & DEC Submit abstract & slides for UBC dietetic intern research symposium Document & disseminate findings Close-out project with UBC & local ethics; complete Appendix 6 & submit to CSIC

  12. Case Study Qs • 1. What is the project type (pg 4 RM)? • 2. Is the population and data easily accessible? • 3. Can the data be collected in 3 days or less? • 4. Is the project eligible for expedited review? ------- • 5. If you answer NO to any of these questions, what ideas do you have to modify the project so you can answer YES to all of the above?

  13. Case study 1: Identifying the nutrition-related care issues for patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancerswho were referred to a BCCA dietitian in 2009. • Retrospective review of GI Ca patients’ charts seen by an RD in 2009 • 290 electronic charts to review • Inter-rater reliability: interns, PI and one co-investigator will all trial data collection procedures from the same 20 charts. Data collection discrepancies will be noted, the technique reviewed and retested with 20 new charts. • 2 interns will work on this project

  14. Case study 2: Nutritional Adequacy of Vulnerable Adolescents in Prince George Licensed Youth Residential Care Homes (RCH) • Survey of teenagers living in RCHs in PG • 60 youth live in 15 RCHs • 50% response rate expected • Validated, self-administered dietary assessment tool to determine macronutrient intakes • Surveys will be left in the RCH for youth to pick up, complete, and put into a sealed box somewhere inside the home • Interns will pick up the box to analyze data one week later • 2 interns will work on this project

  15. Common challenge: Staying on track

  16. Common challenge #2: Completing ethics/RISe forms • Solutions?

  17. Common challenge #3: Data collection isn’t going well! • Solutions?

  18. Common challenge #4: Data analysis? • Solutions?

  19. Common challenge #5: ? • Solutions?
