In Our Learners' Words
Gowramma I.P.
Professor of Education
The detailed content and clarity, with examples and case studies, are what I liked best. The ability to switch between reading and A/V modes when required was also useful.
Althea S.
PhD Student
The modules about the laws that explain protected populations were very informative. I also appreciated the section on safeguards put in place to protect subjects participating in studies.
Julien D.
Clinical researcher
As a researcher with very little prior training in the regulatory aspects of research conduct, the information in this module was very helpful.
Isaias M.
Graduate Student
The videos were the best part of the course. They really helped me visualize how the application of good clinical practice would occur in real time, making the text easier to read and follow.
