Want to learn how to write more accurate, in-depth stories on medical research and how medical decisions are made?
The Association of Health Care Journalists has teamed up with the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute to present the AHCJ Fellowship on Comparative Effectiveness Research.
A select group of fellows will be chosen to spend a week in Washington, D.C., focused on understanding and reporting on medical research.
Comparative effectiveness research is the comparison of different interventions and strategies to prevent, diagnose, treat and monitor health conditions. The aim: inform patients, providers and decision-makers as to which interventions are most effective for which patients and under which circumstances.
