EnCoRE is a year long training curriculum designed to educate and engage Health Center teams including patients, clinical and administrative staff in Patient Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR).
The objective of EnCoRE is to build infrastructure to strengthen the patient-centered comparative effectiveness research (CER) capacity of Health Centers as they develop or expand their own research infrastructure. EnCoRE is an innovative online training, that is targeted to and accessible at no cost to all Health Centers and other primary care practices. Content will prepare Health Center patients, staff, and researchers in the conduct of community-led PCOR.
