The Lunch and Learn discussion series is part of PCC’s Bridging the Gap in Primary Care Research project , which helps front-line primary care clinicians, consumers, advocates, payers and policymakers identify and share relevant primary care-based research to a variety of audiences. The Lunch and Learn series is a primary dissemination channel to educate primary care stakeholders about the most relevant and actionable primary care research.

Lunch and Learn discussions bring together primary care researchers, advocates, policymakers and others to discuss key findings and policy implications of the most important research selected by PCC's research dissemination workgroup, with the goal of better integrating the research findings into organizational and policy decisions.

Thank you to our Lunch and Learn Co-chairs for facillitating the discussion.
