NIH Clinical Center Develops Online Clinical Training Course

The National Institutes of Health Clinical Center has developed an interactive online course on how to conduct clinical trials. While the course is required for all principal investigators conducting trials at the Clinical Center, the extramural community has been invited to use the course for their own training programs. Course topics cover ethical issues in human subjects research, roles and responsibilities of the investigator and institution, regulatory issues, and interacting with the media.
