The Clinical Research Bootcamp started in 2014 as a full-day workshop is designed to provide faculty with a comprehensive overview of the major components involved in clinical research. There are now three bootcamp levels, 101, 201 and 301, each digging deeper into clinical research.
CRB 101
Learning objectives: The Clinical Research Bootcamp 101 aims to provide participants with a comprehensive overview of the major components involved in clinical research, including the development of sound research protocols, maintaining compliance and high ethical standards, and the successful planning of a productive research career. This will be a “case-based bootcamp” with short lectures preceded by a brief “case presentation” highlighting specific questions.
