Welcome to Advarra University

After the Institutional Review Board (IRB) approves a clinical trial and it becomes open to accrual, the participant recruitment phase can begin. Participant recruitment can be performed in many ways and should be tailored to the needs of the study. This course covers the general steps to recruit participants to a study, common approaches to recruitment, and some resources and ideas to support recruitment. Attendance at this program has been approved for 0.50 contact hours of research specific continuing education on applications for Maintenance of ACRP’s CCRC®, CCRA®, CPI®, or ACRP-CP® certification designations. The Society of Clinical Research Associates (SOCRA - www.SOCRA.org) accepts documentation of candidate participation in continuing education programs for recertification if the program is applicable to clinical research regulations, operations or management, or to the candidate’s clinical research therapeutic area. This program offers 0.50 hours of CE credit. Read more

The process of consenting a person for a clinical trial is important to the validity of the study and to maintaining the rights of participants. Consenting a participant requires more than just a signed document – it is an ongoing process where the participant must always be aware of risks related to their participation, new information learned about the clinical trial, and their options for continuing or withdrawing from the study. Investigators and clinical staff must learn how to properly and ethically consent a participant for a study. They must also be aware of unique challenges faced when consenting specific populations, such as children who cannot consent for themselves or patients who must be consented in an emergency setting. Attendance at this program has been approved for 0.20 contact hours of research specific continuing education on applications for Maintenance of ACRP’s CCRC®, CCRA®, CPI®, or ACRP-CP® certification designations. The Society of Clinical Research Associates (SOCRA - www.SOCRA.org) accepts documentation of candidate participation in continuing education programs for recertification if the program is applicable to clinical research regulations, operations or management, or to the candidate’s clinical research therapeutic area.

After a person has consented to participate in a study, it is imperative that their study visits take place according to the schedule in the study protocol. This ensures compliance with research regulations and ensures that study procedures are conducted at the correct timepoints. In turn, this maximizes participant safety, minimizes risk, and ensures data integrity. This course will teach you how to execute a subject visit from scheduling, to visit preparation, to conducting the visit and collecting subject data.  Attendance at this program has been approved for 0.50 contact hours of research specific continuing education on applications for Maintenance of ACRP’s CCRC®, CCRA®, CPI®, or ACRP-CP® certification designations.
