Research to Practicegrew out of Dr. Dean Seehusen’s monthly lecture series,Spending Time in the Medical Literature, where he breaks down medical journal articles for fellow clinicians.At our most recent HamesNet annual meeting, our clinical partners expressed interest in quick, practical takeaways from these lectures, inspiringResearch to Practice—a collection of concise, one-page summaries distilling Dr. Seehusen’s insights for busy primary care clinicians.
We took it Dr. Seehusen's lectures even further withResearch to Practice+, adapting these summaries for non-clinicians and offering patients and community members ways to engage with current medical evidence in clear, meaningful ways.We hope these non-clinical summaries serve as a resource for conversations between patients and clinicians, fostering a better healthcare experience for all.
As a new and evolving initiative, we welcome your input to help refine and expand it. If you have suggestions for improving the summaries, ideas for additional topics, or feedback on how you’ve used these resources in practice, we’d love to hear from you.
