​After another terrific 2-day Academic Detailing Training course here in Boston, it's easy to see how each new training class brings its own unique energy and important clinical interventions to the table. On September 19th and 20th, 2016, trainees from nearly every corner of the U.S. map joined us to learn the core, social marketing techniques of successful clinical outreach education.

Sharing new and ongoing program goals, our trainees (and new partners) from this fall's class are using academic detailing interventions focusing on smoking cessation, diabetes management, depression management, transitional care, increased specialist referrals, and other critical behavior change initiatives in Idaho, Maine, Nebraska, Texas, California, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Colorado, South Carolina, and New York.

​"I feel more aware of what I should be planning as a result of this training—thank you!"


"This course will help me to elevate our program and serve as a model for our state."

​-Fall 2016 Training Participants

While each training has its own unique group discussions and trainees, our 2-day course always includes presentations on the evidence base and history behind academic detailing, the best ways to evaluate evidence for your intervention, the foundation of behavior change theory for academic detailing, how to use educational materials in an effective way.  ​​​

​We lead interactive discussions, group activities, breakout role-plays, and for each training class, we customize a session encouraging the class to use the virtual resources on our Learning Center. ​​

We hope you'll join us at a future training, and please join us for our upcoming conference this November, an exciting opportunity to engage in hands-on workshops, learn about best practices from experts in the field, and meet others doing similarly important work.
