Intestinal failure is a rare disease with challenging management strategies. Research and educational exploration is critically important to advancing the field and informing practice. Members of the allied health team are uniquely positioned to lead the identification of research questions, develop initiatives and implement changes in practice. However, many may not know where to begin in research. The goal of this webinar is to equip allied health practitioners with tangible steps to venture into research initiatives.
Learning Objectives
