Live Sessions & Webinars
Clinical Research Educational Series
Each month, the CRO Education Series presents hourlong sessions on topics in clinical research to the UF Health Cancer Institute CRO staff. These topics are aligned with the Joint Task Force (JTF) Core Competency Framework for Clinical Research Professionals, and frequently continuing education credit is offered for the maintenance of certifications provided by the Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP) and Society of Clinical Research Associations (SOCRA). Some examples of past sessions include a presentation on the drug development process, elements of informed consent, and common statistical tests used in cancer research, among others. A list of past events mapped to the domains can be found on our SharePoint site. As available, recordings, slides, and handouts are also saved on SharePoint for staff review.
Research Certification Test Prep Course
Twice a year, the talent development team facilitates a four-week study group for staff at UF Health Cancer Institute CRO and other associated clinical units who are qualified to seek certification through the Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP) or the .Society of Clinical research Associations (SOCRA). These sessions offer a chance to review relevant topics in clinical research and to share study tips.Â
