Booming administrative tasks, customized technology systems and redundant certification and training requirements are among the primary factors that clinical research staff say eats up time better spent with patients and adds excessive burden—often uncompensated—to study teams. Tailoring training to both the protocol not only will better assure a sponsor that each employee at a site is getting exactly the training they need, but it will save research staff the time burden of going through training they don’t need.

Whether ensuring GCP compliance or the correct application of a study protocol, training is a critical part of any clinical trial. During the life of a study, there may be several points at which a sponsor may require additional or more intensive training to...

Protocol deviations can have a devastating impact on the quality and integrity of key study data and potentially affect patient safety. And there can be serious regulatory repercussions for failing to follow the protocol precisely, as well. Taking the right approach...

Clinical trials are becoming increasingly patient-centric. Pro-ficiency has trained tens of thousand of patients in multiple therapeutic areas using it’s ground breaking Pro Patient online training system. Now Pro Patient is available for Enrolled Subject Training....

Pro-ficiency Simulation Training Pro-ficiency is a simulation-based training platform and site-performance management system. Pro-ficiency mirrors site challenges through simulations of potential subjects to ensure sites are fully trained on the mission-critical...

Are you outsourcing any of your protocol, GCP, or Safety training for investigations and site staff? Training is important for study quality and patient safety. There is no point in investing tens of millions in a clinical trial and not training the sites...

If a clinical trial was a 747, …then the subjects would be the passengers …and the flight crew the site staff. Imagine if the airline industry used meetings and powerpoint to train their flight crew rather than simulation! We would all be doing a lot more driving and...

While meetings are an excellent way to network with investigators and study coordinators, they are proven to be the least effective way to educate medical professionals and to give them the skills required to be effective at their jobs. We spend tens of millions on...

GCP and Pharmacovigilance training is a requirement for all sites that participate in clinical trials. Non- compliance with ICH GCP E6(R2) regulations results in inspection findings, cost overruns, data rejection, and potential study delays. As a result, sponsors...

How many stories have you heard where mistakes - made by clinical research sites - caused problems in a study, or even worse, patient injury? The practice of medicine is inherently risky given the consequences of mistakes or misinformation. This is even more the case...
