There are at least 3 courses on this same subject already in existence in Ontario.

• The SPOR Master Class

• CIHR SPOR Training

• PiR Training from Li Ka Shing

I have taken all three and they are variations on a theme. I'm personally not sure it is worthwhile having yet another training but would welcome thoughts on this. Alies

I to have taken them all as well as the PaCER course. If they do their course better and differently it might be valuable, but there are quite a few people spending a lot of money developing courses.

Maybe they think that taking a course is the equivalent of developing caacity. I think they should spend the money on drawing atiets in to a research day and carefully choosing their topics and activities. That would go better if people were not 'streamed' into a segment but could choose based on their level of knowledge. It's often a good idea to push particpants to sit with people they don't know

What I should have said on the survey (I did it already) was that they should have a section on Primary Care Health Research to give the attendees background on their area, and how it may or may not be different.
