Research Coordinator Enrichment Series
The CTSI Academy is offering an education series addressing day-to-day components of clinical research conduct.
This series will have a strong emphasis on the practical conduct of clinical research at MCW and its partner institutions. Our goal is to provide research staff with guidance on specific situations encountered by research teams on a routine basis while conducting clinical research. Presenters will share tips and tools for safe, efficient, ethical, and compliant conduct of research. At the end of each session, participants are invited to bring their questions for an open discussion with our experts.
This program will feature experts from the MCW Clinical Trials Office and from various other research departments across MCW.
