Clinicians who would like to conduct research in their private practice encounter a host of impediments to doing so. This session will feature brief presentations by 3 speakers who will describe strategies they used to overcome barriers to conducting research in private practice. Dr. Alvord, Co-Founder of Alvord, Baker & Associates, and Founder of the charity, Resilience Across Borders and with input from Clinical Research Coordinator, Mary Fallon, will describe how she created her collaborative research program focused on teaching resilience in schools. Dr. Osborne, Co-Director of Research and Outcomes Monitoring at Evidence Based Treatment Centers of Seattle (EBTCS), will describe how EBTCS developed routine outcome monitoring and practice-based research programs in tandem, as well as solutions for problems that emerged as the Center grew. Dr. Luoma, Co-Founder of Portland Psychotherapy, Clinic, Research, & Training Center will describe the infrastructure he built in their research and training clinic to address the challenge of self-funding practice-based research. The remainder of the session will be devoted to answering questions from audience members who are interested in conducting research in their own practice.
