101 Leading Inter-Institutional Competency-based Interactive Workshops as an Opportunity for Professional Development for Clinical Research Professionals

Abstract

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Clinical research professionals (CRPs) are vital for high quality research. Professional development opportunities for CRPs help improve job satisfaction and retention. This poster will present data on peer-presenter satisfaction and their assessment of co-leading a workshop as an important professional development and networking activity. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Developing a Research Professionals Network Workshop is an important professional development opportunity for peer-presenters in a mentored, collaborative environment that encourages networking and inter-institutional teamwork. Presenters are connected by the leadership team and then work together to develop the workshop’s learning objectives, presentation, and activities. A summary of learner evaluations are provided to the presenting team to provide constructive feedback for future presentations. A survey to assess experience in leading the workshops is sent to presenters after the workshop to assess overall satisfaction and assessment of importance in their professional development. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Presenter evaluation response data from the years of 2019-2022 showed high rates of agreement that presenters’ participation 1) increased their knowledge of the topic, 2) appreciated the support provided by the leadership team, 3) felt adequately prepared to lead the workshop, and 4) were overall satisfied with the experience. Questions specifically around the inter-institutional collaboration and professional development of the workshop experience were added in 2021 and similarly showed high marks of satisfaction. Qualitative response data showed that some presenters continued collaborations after workshop completion. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Overall results show that workshop presenters felt that leading an RPN workshop with collaborators from the other participating sites was a useful experience that supported their ongoing professional development. High marks on satisfaction by presenters is attributed to the multi-hub partnership and guidance from the leadership team.
