In addition to my other lines of research, I co-run a lab with Dr. Charee Thompson:

The R.A.P.P.O.R.T. Lab

Research Advancing Patient-Provider Outcomes, Relationship, and Talk

 

Mission Statement:

Our mission is to improve patient-provider communication through theory-driven and evidence-based research and training.

 

Who We Are:

The lab is comprised of communication faculty, graduate students, and faculty fellows. The lab currently houses several projects: trainings for residents at several hospitals; research in clinical settings; and systematic reviews or other agenda-setting essays. Lab members are also encouraged to develop and execute research ideas utilizing the lab’s resources and connections.

Among other things, this lab is known for its writing retreats, which I have been a part of since the first retreat in 2009. The history of the lab’s writing retreats can be found here: http://jakobdjensen.com/writing-retreats/

Texas Writing Retreat (Spring 2014)

Along with writing, the writing retreats often include informal workshops by one of the professors. Below is an example of when I taught a regression workshop at the Fall 2017 Writing Retreat:

We also share useful tips and tricks. Here, I am showing how to quickly format APA tables in Excel (Fall 2016 Writing Retreat).
