    "Applying a Participatory Implementation Research Approach to Hypertension Prevention for Asian American Communities in Faith-based Settings" Presenter: Simona C. Kwon, DrPH, MPH, associate professor in the Departments of Population Health and Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine at NYU Langone                                              Simona C. Kwon, DrPH, MPH is an associate professor in the Departments of Population Health and Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine at NYU Langone. Dr. Kwon is the director and multi-PI of the NIH National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities-funded Center of Excellence, the NYU Center for the Study of Asian American Health. Dr. Kwon also serves as the community engagement and dissemination lead for the CDC-funded NYU BOLD Public Health Center of Excellence on Early Detection of Dementia. She is a socio-behavioral epidemiologist with extensive experience in the use of, among other methods, community-based participatory research, mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) approaches, evidence-based strategies, dissemination and implementation science, and multidisciplinary teams to address community-level health disparities. She works in collaboration with multisector coalitions made up of local and national community-based organizations, governmental agencies, service delivery organizations, and researchers from discrete disciplines. Dr. Kwon's research examines the social and cultural factors that influence health and health outcomes in racial and ethnic communities, with a particular focus on Asian Americans. She employs a social determinants of health framework to implement and evaluate evidence-based strategies in community settings, focusing on cultural relevance and impact and finding more effective channels through which to translate research into practice. This event is hosted by the Irving Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, Implementation Science Initiative

    Join us for our second virtual online workshop!    In light of the ongoing and necessary precautions and difficulties related to COVID-19, we will be extending the 25% discount on our usual tuition rates, in addition to our usual Early Bird Registration of $50 off the discounted tuition through March 5th! Click the link for Details and Registration.   While we hope to be able to be together in person again for future workshops, we are excited to share this learning experience for the second time in a virtual format that brings together participants from all over the world for a weekend of intensive skill-building in narrative medicine practice. The narrative medicine faculty and program directors have worked to create an intimate and immersive experience, including lectures, small group work, literature, educational and networking resources, continuing education credits, and direct interaction with narrative medicine faculty. Our format combines live virtual sessions and asynchronous learning modalities to deliver an introduction to the field that provides the same learning, connection, and transformative experience as traditional in-person workshops, while taking into consideration the fatigue and burnout of demanding virtual schedules. This intensive workshop will offer rigorous skill-building in narrative competence and provides an intensive introductory experience to the methods and skills of narrative medicine. These practices are then applicable to unlimited clinical and non-clinical settings. Participants will experience plenary presentations by the founders of the Division of Narrative Medicine in both live and asynchronous formats, and will engage with faculty and each other live via Zoom for interactive presentations, Q&A, and small group work. We are continuing to offer a 25% percent discount on our usual tuition rates with the understanding that time and resources have increased demands during these difficult few months, as well as an early bird special of $50 off the discounted tuition for those who sign up before March 5th. Our registration rates and an outline for our virtual weekend schedule and preparatory asynchronous materials are available at the "Details and Registration" link.
