Training sessions

The PROmats, an Educational Program on PRO assessment, has been developed by Mapi Research Trust in collaboration with the Cochrane Collaboration Patient-Reported Outcomes Methods Group and the ERIQA Group.

The PROmats training emphasizes interactive learning in a group setting to facilitate the understanding of key concepts. Participants are separated into small working groups, where they work on the PROmats sheets, completing various assignments through group discussions. Then, each group shares its answers with the other participants in order to reach a consensus.

The entire process is under the supervision of one or more facilitators who uses his/her experience and expertise in the field of PRO to make the sessions more meaningful and relevant.

For more information, please feel free to download the PROmats flyer .

Pilot PROmat sessions were held at the AFSSAPS and the FDA in 2002 .
