Courses
The Office for Clinical Research (OCR) offers courses designed to provide clinical research professionals with education and training on the regulations governing clinical research. These courses were developed to equip the research community with the knowledge and skills needed to conduct clinical research in the highest quality manner. The OCR Education and Outreach Team assist clinical researchers in maintaining compliance with conducting research at Emory or at Emory affiliates.
The Emory University School of Medicine designates this enduring material for a maximum of 12 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. The Emory University School of Medicine is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
In addition, OCR provides resources on credentialing and certification to assist the clinical research professional in performing his or her job functions in clinical research.
This online course was developed upon advice and approval of the Clinical Trials Executive Committee, the Clinical Trials Task Force and other clinical trials advisory groups to provide supplementary content for clinical investigators specific to clinical trials involving human subjects. The course curriculum is comprised of a series web-based training courses/modules indented to enhance an investigator’s ability to comply with the requirements of Good Clinical Practices, to properly delegate authority, to manage clinical trial operations, to recognize and avoid research misconduct, and to improve the outcomes of monitoring and audits performed by sponsors and the Food and Drug Administration.
The course registration and administration is facilitated via the Emory Learning Management System (eLMS). For more detailed instructions specific to the Key Concepts course and eLMS, please reference the links below:
