Clinical Research Professionals Training Series

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.

The Clinical Research Professional Training Series (CRPTS) is a monthly webinar held on the second Friday of the month from 9 - 10 a.m. EST via Zoom. Each month speakers will present topics of interest that are mapped to the Joint Task Force (JTF) for Harmonized Clinical Research Core Competencies and ICH E6 (R2). Attendees can earn 1.0 hr ACRP or SoCRA Continuing Education points and establish valuable peer connections across Ohio State and Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
