In 2006, the NIH National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) created the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) program to train new generations of clinical and translational researchers (Patel et al., 2019). While 60+ academic medical centers have created workforce development programs through CTSA funding, evaluating the use and comparative efficacy of competency-based assessment tools to understand the effectiveness of these programs has remained unreported. Competency-based selfassessment tools (CBSTs) are question-based instruments to evaluate one’s confidence in specific professional competencies with an implicit assumption that confidence may translate into competency (Robinson et al., 2013). CBSTs would allow programs to measure indirectly key professional development milestones of trainees. Currently, several CBSTs exist to assess individuals in specific clinical research roles, such as principal investigator, clinical research coordinator, and other ancillary research staff (Hornung, Ianni, Jones, Samuels, & Ellingrod, 2019; Hornung et al., 2018; Mullikin, Bakken, & Betz, 2007), but little has been reported about the use or need for CBSTs within the CTSA community. Consequently, the New Jersey Alliance for Clinical and Translational Science (NJ ACTS) Workforce Development Core conducted a CTSA consortium-wide assessment to evaluate the present use and potential need for CBSTs in evaluating CTSA trainees. This work is a retrospective analysis of those materials, conducted to understand both the utility of CBSTs as an evaluation component to CTSA workforce development activities and which professional competencies are valued.","PeriodicalId":74496,"journal":{"name":"Principles and practice of clinical research (2015)","volume":"81 1","pages":"23-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90387365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It belongs to a group of neuropathic pain syndromes, and its treatment is challenging and often refractory to many modalities, causing significant burden and suffering. The prevalence of PLP after amputation ranges between 60–80% (Limakatso et al., 2020). In some cases, the pain might decrease with time and even fade away, but studies have shown that even after two years, a majority of the patients still present pain, and only a small percentage have reported a decrease in intensity of pain (Erlenwein et al., 2021). To date, there is no guidelines for the treatment of PLP and most therapies have low levels of evidence. Possible treatments include the use of pharmacotherapy including opioids, antidepressants, neuroleptics, muscle relaxants and anticonvulsants (Flor, 2002), a variety of surgical procedures (Nikolajsen & Christensen, 2015), nerve blocks, local anesthesia, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) (Kern et al., 2012), acupuncture, psychological interventions, physiotherapy, and mind-body techniques such as hypnosis(Bamford, 2006; Moura et al., 2012). Conventional treatments used for PLP, such as pharmacologic agents, have pertinent limitations. The use of pharmacologic agents for controlling pain is associated with several side effects and can become unsustainable in the long term (Els et al.,","PeriodicalId":74496,"journal":{"name":"Principles and practice of clinical research (2015)","volume":"102 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75756584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
