Transforming Research into Impact: Workshop on Policy Briefing and Policy Adoption


Distinguished guests, department heads, researchers, and colleagues—good morning and welcome to the Policy Development Training Workshop!

Today marks a crucial step in fulfilling the true purpose of our academic work. Every year, incredible effort goes into completing research manuscripts, but too often, those findings end up collecting dust on the shelves of the VSMMC Research Institute. It is time to change that narrative. Our goal today is to ensure that every completed study moves past the bookshelf and into action—transforming hard data into policy development and tangible program improvements.

We are privileged to have Dr. Ana Leah Cuizon with us to guide this transition. She will walk us through:

 * The fundamentals of the policy planning process.

 * The different forms of policy frameworks.

 * Practical strategies to translate raw research into enforceable policies that advance evidence-based healthcare.

Take today’s workshop seriously and give it your absolute best. The policy briefs you craft during this session will serve as your official entries for the upcoming Medicine Week 3-Minute Policy Pitch before the Executive Committee (EXECOM) and Management Committee (ManCom). This is your platform to directly influence how our hospital operates.

The VSMMC Research Institute remains committed to providing an enabling environment where your research can thrive and create real-world impact. Enjoy the workshop, engage with the process, and let us work together to elevate patient care.

Kay dinhi sa Sotto, kalidad nga serbisyo atong garbo!
