Clinical Research Course

Dear Pediatric Critical Care Fellows and Junior Faculty,
We are thrilled to invite you to participate in the Clinical Research Course at the Spring 2025 PALISI Meeting in the breathtaking city of Santa Fe, New Mexico! Taking place on Monday, March 31st, from 7 AM to 6 PM, this unique course is your opportunity to take the next step in your career in pediatric critical care research while connecting with a vibrant community of like-minded professionals.
This year’s course offers inspiring presentations from some of the most respected researchers in pediatric critical care, interactive hands-on learning opportunities, and unparalleled networking experiences with peers and experts in the field. Whether you’re just starting your journey in research or aiming to lead independent, funded studies, this course will provide you with the tools, connections, and confidence to excel in your career.
To meet your unique career goals, we’ve designed two distinct tracks:
-
Collaborative Clinician-Researcher Track: Tailored for those aspiring to roles such as collaborative investigator or site principal investigator, with a focus on local clinical research or quality improvement projects.
-
Independent Clinician-Scientist Track: Perfect for those pursuing leadership in independently funded research programs. Participants in this track will have the chance to present a Specific Aims page during the Specific Aims Workshop for personalized feedback. (Not sure you’re ready to submit? Reach out to our course directors for guidance!)
