Education and Training
Ongoing training and education is critical to the success of any research program. The Comprehensive Clinical Research Unit (CCRU) at the KP Division of Research is pleased to be able to support educational needs by providing up to date information and resources to researchers and their staff. Please check back here regularly for updated training opportunities and other resources.
This web-based, self-taught course is a set of targeted educational lessons that helps physicians and medical professionals understand the basics of conducting effective clinical research.
All staff involved in conducting research must take required courses in human subjects protection and privacy protection before starting a research study. Staff involved in the conduct of clinical trials also have a series of courses that they must take based on the type of study.
