The Institute of Clinical Research (ICR) has enhanced its e-learning education programme.
The programme now features 10 e-learning modules, all upgraded to include Flash technology, offering interactive education courses for clinical research professionals.
Each course is available through the ICR website allowing individuals to study at a convenient pace and around their work commitments.
New subjects include: practical monitoring, which provides an insight into the practical requirements of a monitor in the conduct of clinical trials; and GCP compliance in document management and archiving, which examines the why, what, who and when of paper and electronic archiving.
The latter is presented in association with specialist CRO, Phlexglobal.
Alongside these modules, ICR is also introducing two courses designed to help new or existing staff develop their careers.
Entitled 'So You Want to be a CRA?' and 'How to Get a Job as a CRA', these modules lead participants through the essential skills required to be a successful CRA and provide guidance on how to approach the application process.
These courses will join the existing modules entitled 'ICH GCP for Investigators', 'ICH GCP for Sponsors', 'Principles of ICH GCP', 'Data Protection and Clinical Research in the UK', 'GCP Directive' and 'EU Clinical Trials Directive'.
A further 10 e-learning modules will be available during 2009.
