MLP Evaluation Working Group

In March 2007, NCMLP convened a Research and Evaluation Working Group in order to identify best practices, current activities, and gaps in practice, research and resources.

The Working Group hosts monthly conference calls to present information, work on projects and/or review instruments and materials. The Working Group also meets annually at the Medical-Legal Partnership Summit.  Participation is open to all.
