Event

This is a practical, clinical research skills development course involving topics chosen by CRCs across the country following a needs assessment survey completed by over 100 CRCs. To complement the didactic portion of the workshop, we have incorporated breakout sessions for discussion and networking among attendees; both of which were requested during the CRC Forum at ATS 2016. Lectures will provide scientific background for skills that CRCs perform daily. Discussion will allow coordinators from across the world to share experience, knowledge, and methods for recruitment, retention, standardized measurement, and regulatory compliance. This course will provide a venue for supporting and promoting best practices among those who coordinate the clinical trials from which clinical practice is changed. It will provide value to nationwide clinical trial networks by helping to establish consistency in data collection and procedure execution.
