September 12-14, 2024 | Baguio City – The Cordillera Regional Health Research and Development Consortium (CRHRDC) held the “Basic Research Methods: Training for Trainers” from September 12 to 14, 2024, at Aura One, Rimando Road, Baguio City. As an active member of the CRHRDC, the University of the Cordilleras (UC) enjoys the privilege of engaging in specialized training and professional development opportunities. Two faculty members from the UC College of Nursing, Danny Sagun and Reuben Laguitan, participated in this intensive program designed to enhance their skills in delivering Basic Research Method (BRM) modules.

The training, aimed at strengthening research capacity across the region, brought together experienced graduates of previous BRM courses. Under the guidance of expert facilitators, participants engaged in comprehensive sessions that focused on effective module delivery techniques for the 12 BRM modules. The program combined lectures with hands-on teaching demonstrations, providing participants with valuable feedback to refine their methods and boost their confidence in delivering structured, engaging lessons.

By the end of the program, 24 participants earned certification as BRM trainers, now equipped with advanced skills to promote health research within their institutions. This initiative highlights CRHRDC’s ongoing commitment to building regional research capacity and creating a network of trainers to advance health research across the Cordillera region. Through its active membership in CRHRDC, UC continues to play a significant role in fostering professional development and research growth in the area.
