SUMMARY:Workshop for PWLE: AI Research in Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to help shape how AI is used in health research — in ways that are fair\, safe\, and responsive to real people? \nOn November 18th (4:00–5:00 pm EST\, virtual)\, TRANSFORM HF and T-CAIREM are hosting a special workshop for people with lived experience of cardiovascular disease. Participants will explore AI use cases\, ethics\, and ways patient voices can guide meaningful research. \nAs this is a hands-on session\, attendance will be capped at 15 participants. To apply\, you should already have some familiarity with health research in Canada\, and ideally be either part of or planning to join a research team. \nApplications close Sunday\, November 2\, 2025. \nBring your voice\, your insights—and let’s shape AI in healthcare together. \nLearn more & apply!

SUMMARY:Foundations: Patient Partners Engaging in Cardiovascular Research
DESCRIPTION:TRANSFORM HF and The Heart Hub want to build and sustain a vibrant community of local People With Lived Experience (PWLE) who are “research-ready!” This free workshop series was co-developed by PWLE with the goal of training and empowering patients\, caregivers\, and family members. The three-session series is intended for heart function patients living in the Greater Toronto Area and does require in-person participation.\n\n12 PWLE applicants will be admitted into the course based upon application selection criteria and with consideration to equity\, diversity\, and inclusion. A mix of theoretical content\, experiential learning\, and case studies will introduce foundational lessons and skills. Material will be delivered by researchers\, health systems experts\, and seasoned PWLE partners. The third and final workshop will involve collaborating with UHN Investigators on real-world projects\, with the potential to be invited on as a PWLE partner.\n\nBy the end of the course\, graduates will be able to:\n\n\nIdentify as a community of knowledgeable people with lived experience of heart disease ready to co-create with researchers.\nDescribe the role of the patient partners in health research\, assess its challenges and opportunities and evaluate own strengths and needs as a patient partner.\nAccess and utilize patient-oriented research resources for patient partners to be meaningfully engaged at every stage of the research journey\nSummarize Canada’s research environment\, research funding\, peer review\, research terminology and frameworks for patient engagement.\n\nCourse participants\, UHN Investigators\, and existing PWLE partners will be invited to a lunch reception directly following the culminating workshop to celebrate the amazing contributions of our patient and caregiver partners! \n\n\nKey Dates:\n\n\nSession 1: Wednesday\, January 29\, 12-1pm; virtual\nSession 2: Wednesday\, February 12\, 12-1pm; virtual\nSession 3: Tuesday\, February 25\, 9am-1pm; in-person\n\n\n\nDue to the hands-on nature of this workshop\, space is limited. Participants will be selected based upon their responses to this application form\, with a focus on ensuring a diversity of representation\, experience\, and perspectives. You may be placed on a wait-list. Travel and expenses related to the third workshop session will be covered for all attendees.\n\nPlease complete this application form by January 5\, 2025. Successful applicants will be notified by January 17\, 2025.

SUMMARY:MasterClass for Patient Partners Engaging in Cardiovascular Research
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Description\nMeaningful\, impactful cardiovascular research must be grounded in the needs and priorities of patients\, caregivers\, and family members (People With Lived Experience\, or PWLE). The voices of PWLE must be present as research is conceptualized\, funded\, executed and evaluated. An engaged and “partner-ready” community of PWLE partners who can be active and engaged members of research initiatives is needed to maximize the impact of research\, meet the needs of research funders and assure the centrality of PWLE perspectives. \nThis free\, day-long workshop is designed to train PWLE to be active and engaged members of research teams and to begin to build a community across Canada. \nThis “engaged and ready community of PWLE partners” will serve as a key step toward meeting the Canadian Institutes of Health Research’s (CIHR) strategy for patient-oriented research\, which asserts that research be conducted with patients rather than to them. It is also central to the vision and value of the partners: HeartLife Foundation\, CHF Alliance\, and TRANSFORM HF. By building and supporting a vibrant PWLE partner community\, we hope to foster more responsive research that best meets the needs of all people in Canada.  \nThis MasterClass is meant for those who are living with cardiovascular conditions. Together\, we will: explore the fundamentals of Canada’s health research landscape\, focusing on PWLE engagement at all stages of the research process; hear about the roles and real-world impacts of PWLE partners in cardiovascular research; share practical strategies on how to identify and overcome engagement barriers; and discuss key resources to support meaningful PWLE engagement. \nDesigned to be accessible\, this comprehensive training will break down research jargon and pair theoretical and conceptual content with practical\, applicable information. The use of experiential learning and case studies will allow participants to consider first-hand what it means to be a patient partner in health research\, identifying areas of strengths and further learning for themselves. Group engagement will facilitate peer guidance\, deepen learning\, and contribute to building a cohesive\, engaged community of PWLE partners. \n\n			\n				REGISTER NOW\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Learning Objectives\n\nIdentify as a community of knowledgeable people with lived experience of heart disease ready to co-create with researchers.\nDescribe the role of the patient partners in health research\, assess its challenges and opportunities and evaluate own strengths and needs as a patient partner.\nAccess and utilize patient-oriented research resources for patient partners to be meaningfully engaged at every stage of the research journey\nSummarize Canada’s research environment\, research funding\, peer review\, research terminology and frameworks for patient engagement.\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nActivity Overview\nDesigned as a day-long\, in-person workshop\, this MasterClass will utilize multiple interactive strategies: \n\nA pre-workshop survey will identify participant learning objectives\, skills\, and areas of interest/friction.

Facilitated small group work and brief presentations by researchers\, health systems experts\, and experienced patient partners will reinforce and ground key lessons\, as well as facilitate peer learning and community building.\nParticipants will be able to role-play scenarios and apply new skills through paired activities.\n\n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nJoin Us!\nDate: Thursday\, October 26\, as part of Vascular 2023Time: 9:00 am – 3:00 pmPlace: Le Westin Montreal\, 270 Rue Saint-Antoine O\, Montreal\, Quebec \nSpace is limited\, please apply for the opportunity to attend by Thursday\, August 3\, 2023.
