Clinical Research Professionals Training Series
Clinical Research Professionals Training Series
Monthly webinars to increase your clinical research knowledge.
The work of clinical research requires a fully trained and educated team, including clinical research professionals (CRPs). Such preparation ensures that we are all conducting clinical research studies with efficiency, safety, reliability and compliance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP), regulations and policies. CRPs are defined as those non-faculty staff who work in roles that operationalize clinical research, such as (but not limited to) clinical research assistants, clinical research coordinators, clinical research nurses and roles in data management, regulatory affairs and project management.
We have revitalized the CRP Training Webinar Series to better equip our clinical research workforce. We've listened, we've learned, and now we're launching a new series tailored to meet the evolving needs of Clinical Research Professionals (CRPs) at every level.
