Outcomes Research Workshop (ORW)
Background
The Outcomes Research Workshop (ORW) is focused on clinical outcomes and health services research with an emphasis on the application of social science methods. The workshop is highly interactive and provides opportunities for fellows and faculty to receive feedback throughout the research process. The ORW originated over 10 years ago as part of the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program. The workshop series is sponsored by the University of Chicago CTSA and the Departments of Family Medicine, Medicine, Pediatrics and Surgery.
