Scholar Testimonials
This program has provided an amazing opportunity to work alongside—and in some cases, to collaborate with—gifted people from a host of other disciplines and content areas, all with a common passion for health services research. I’ve learned new research methods and my RWJF Physician Faculty Scholars program project has catalyzed my work in emergency care (including the development of a statewide EMS outcome-based dataset in Oregon and an emergency care research network within West Coast Clinical and Translational Science Award centers) and paved the way for other research grants.
