Description
Consent as a process rather than a signature, including reconsent, vulnerable populations and documentation.
Written for people new to the topic, with nothing assumed. You work through 4 sections built around the tasks the role actually asks for, each with a short worked example and a checkpoint so you can tell whether the material has landed.
This sits in Foundations: Everything a first clinical research role assumes you know. When you are ready to show the capability rather than describe it, the next step is Participant visit casebook in Competency Labs by TRUVAN.
Where it leads
Participant visit casebook in Competency Labs by TRUVAN. Completing a course builds capability. It does not by itself create reviewed evidence: demonstrated work in Competency Labs by TRUVAN does.
Common questions
- Is this course assessed?
- No. Checkpoints are for your own confidence. Assessed, reviewed work happens in Competency Labs by TRUVAN casebooks.
- Does finishing this course create reviewed evidence?
- No. Courses build capability. Reviewed evidence comes from demonstrated work that is scored and reviewed in Competency Labs by TRUVAN.
- Can I buy this on its own?
- Yes. It is available as a single course, and it is also included in the TRUVAN Academy subscription alongside every other course and Labs access.
- How long do I have to complete it?
- It is self-paced with no deadline. Most people spread the material over two to three weeks alongside work.
