Introduction to Quality of Life and Patient-Reported Outcomes:
Theory, Measurement, and Applications

www.isoqol.org/education-events/education-courses/ipro-course

Collecting and acting upon Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) is one of the cornerstones of patient-centered care. Choosing the right set of PROs can be challenging as there are many options, each with advantages and disadvantages. This one day, intensive and interactive educational course offers a curriculum that will provide a basic level introduction to the why and how of using PROs in research.

Attendees will be given the opportunity to apply their learning throughout the course. This training is aimed at health professionals; medical scientists who are not experts in the use of PROs; consultants; pharmaceutical and medical device representatives; new investigators and research students; policymakers; and other associations and individuals who are interested in acquiring familiarity with the terms and methods of research on PROs.

Those that participate in the course will receive a certificate of attendance, upon completion of the course evaluation.

Exclusive Course
Attendee Rate = $400.00 (Minimum of 25 Attendees)
