“…Institutions, funding agencies and governmental organization must recognize the necessity to include CAM knowledge and philosophy into the research arena. A major complaint has been that the conventional approach to studying CAM modalities is not representative of actual clinical application and ignores the treatment of the "whole" patient care, aspects that are integral to CAM practices (Shaw, 2003;Nahin & Straus, 2001). Thus, CAM practitioners should be encouraged and supported in participating in research.…”

Background: A lack of research literacy and capacity has been identified as a key barrier to research in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Networks may enable multidisciplinary collaboration between academic researchers and CAM practitioners and provide opportunities for mentoring and capacity building. Little is known about how mentoring can operate within a network and what its potential is as a strategy to increase research literacy and capacity among CAM practitioners. Purpose: To explore how mentoring within a network can be used to build research literacy and capacity amongst CAM practitioners. Methodology: Qualitative method was used for data collection and content analysis. Participants were individuals with knowledge and/or experience in networks and/or mentoring, as well as CAM practitioners.

Purpose: To explore how mentoring within a network can be used to build research literacy and capacity amongst CAM practitioners. Methodology: Qualitative method was used for data collection and content analysis. Participants were individuals with knowledge and/or experience in networks and/or mentoring, as well as CAM practitioners. Results: Some major categories derived from the data were: 1) A network must clearly define the role and goals of mentoring. 2) An infrastructure to support and maintain the mentoring relationship should be in place. 3) A number of barriers and enablers for successful mentoring within a network were addressed. 4) Some issues specific to CAM practitioners' ability to conduct research were raised. Conclusion: Mentoring was seen as a potentially useful strategy. Ideas for mentoring were suggested, including cooperative models, job shadowing, perceptorship and role modeling. Innovative models were discussed.

“…An appreciation of best practices for short‐term program design would help educators determine what programs would be best for their own institutions and trainee populations. Few reports however, address the design, implementation, successes, and limitations of the varying models of short‐term training programs …”

Senior housestaff and junior faculty are often expected to perform clinical research, yet may not always have the requisite knowledge and skills to do so successfully. Formal degree programs provide such knowledge, but require a significant commitment of time and money. Short-term training programs (days to weeks) provide alternative ways to accrue essential information and acquire fundamental methodological skills. Unfortunately, published information about short-term programs is sparse. To encourage discussion and exchange of ideas regarding such programs, we here share our experience developing and implementing INTREPID (INtensive Training in Research Statistics, Ethics, and Protocol Informatics and Design), a 24-day immersion training program in clinical research methodologies. Designing, planning, and offering INTREPID was feasible, and required significant faculty commitment, support personnel and infrastructure, as well as committed trainees.

“…Several of such programs incorporated faculty mentors, who provided guidance on grant applications, along with other aspects of research career training. [1][2][3] However, more applicable to our experience are programs not focused exclusively on assistance to junior faculty and operating outside a designated training environment.…”
