Scientist Practitioner: Integrating science into clinical practice is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of clinic sessions and day-to-day service delivery. In Integrating science into clinical practice, for this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.

Often clinicians are intimidated by conducting research or have limited research participants for a typical study. We can eliminate these standard research barriers by improving our skills with each clinical case (n=1). In the scientist-practitioner model, the ultimate outcome is for the study to make us more effective and efficient clinicians. This symposium walks participants through how to conduct skill acquisition diagnostics, create a flow chart of procedures, implement treatment, and review results. Hopefully, you will see how this structure can help you make science part of your clinical culture. Participants will see clinical data sets for various areas, including verbal behavior and problem behavior.
