Becoming a SAPCReN Member
SAPCReN is a network of primary care clinicians, healthcare professionals, and researchers that contribute to and/or use data generated in real world community-based settings to answer questions relevant to primary care or inform practice. SAPCReN is a great way to get involved in primary care research at any stage or experience level.
SAPCReN can assist its members with a variety of research tasks with the support of research staff in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Calgary.
SAPCReN members may also be eligible for participation in the Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network (CPCSSN), the first pan-Canadian primary care electronic medical record (EMR) repository. CPCSSN collects de-identified data from multiple EMR systems of a representative sample of family physicians or nurse practitioners and their patients. Participating clinicians received routine, detailed reports of their panel and clinic data, designed to support monitoring or evaluation of their practice.
Additional benefits of SAPCReN membership include receiving a monthly e-newsletter (SAPCReN Scoop), invitations to join research studies as a participant or as part of the study team, and various networking opportunities.
