Course Description
Through an interactive approach, in this blended learning course, you receive a concise update of the current European clinical trial legislation and you will learn more about clinical trials in developing countries. The critical milestones of clinical trials, contingency plans, dealing with non-compliances, risk-based monitoring, your relationship with the investigator, and coaching junior CRAs are the main topics of this course.
The live session (F2F or webinar) will implement the eLearning material in practice: how to upgrade monitoring methods and skills, how to select the right investigators, how to boost subject recruitment, how to detect and correct informed consent issues, how to solve site management matters and how to deal with non-compliance. You gain insights in developing monitoring plans, tracking tools, accurate monitoring visit reporting, and corrective and preventive actions. You will be reviewing cases from real-life situations during workshops. Lively discussion and action planning involving real-life cases in the live session is one of the main learning areas. Here you will benefit not only from the trainers but also learn from each other’s experiences.

There was a lot of room for discussion. And the fact that we did take an online training course prior to the classroom meeting, gave the impression all trainees started from more or less the same level of theory knowledge.

The many workshops and quizzes in this course made the learning experience great, because they allow a better comprehension of the theory.

The content of the course was very useful and clearly explained (although we do also monitor lots of non-interventional studies, Marleen took the time to discuss the application of GCP to these non-interventional studies) - Clear workshops to think about topics in an active manner (instead of just listening).
Loes Bastings
Clinical Trial Center Maastricht (CTCM)
Good trainer who applies training material into practice which is applicable for our organization (real life examples) - Marleen took time to discuss items which were not clear for us and she used examples from our type of studies to explain the study material.
