This session is  part of the SPOR National Training Entity official launch event.

Patient-oriented research asks everyone to embrace new ways of working. Can-SOLVE CKD has created a suite of training programs to help network members enhance their skills and knowledge in this area. This session highlighted the Can-SOLVE CKD Learning Tree and the 5 branches of free resources covering a wide range of subjects.

Agenda:

1. Setting the Stage: Introducing Can-SOLVE CKD and the Learning Tree
2. Overview of each of the five Learning Branches:

• KidneyPro – This free online learning module equips you with an understanding of the patient role in kidney research and empowers you to get involved.
• Storytelling for Impact – This module has been designed to help patient partners write their stories around two moments of care that they wish to share, along with a call to action for improving kidney care.
• Wabishki Bizhiko Skaanj Learning Pathway – This online learning pathway brings together existing resources with original content exploring Indigenous Cultural Competency
• Patient Engagement Toolkit – The toolkit includes tips for collaboration in patient engagement, a glossary of terms, and practical tools to support the internal functioning of teams, such as a skills and contributions chart.
