RAPID-LHS Center
Research and Education Core
The Research Education Core (REC), led by Dr. Roumie, will ensure a comprehensive education and robust career development for LHS scientists, including both academic and operational leaders.
REC Focus Areas
- Protecting each scientist’s time to learn LHS fundamentals and develop the specific competencies necessary to build a program that will improve the healthcare system in which they are embedded.
- Sustaining and broadening a tradition of excellence in interdisciplinary research and training.
- Providing strong interdisciplinary mentor teams in the context of career development in LHS.
- Anchoring the education program in structured didactic learning, with complementary experiential learning through the conduct of research.
- Engaging mentors as facilitators with active roles in advising, pacing, problem-solving, and gaining buy-in from operational leaders for embedded research programs and projects.
- Maximizing RAPID-LHS scientists’ access to Research and Data Analysis Core (RDAC) resources and continuously monitoring progress to enhance each scientist’s career outcomes and scientific products.
- Encouraging scientific questions that allow for interventions that resonate with patient need, address structural inequalities, and reduce inequities so that all people can reach their full health potential.
