New exciting changes ahead!
The Clinical Research Boot Camp will remain a series of free virtual lunchtime events held over two weeks in July, and open to ITHS members across the region and beyond, but we’ve revamped the format and registration process to improve the experience for participants.
- PANEL INTERVIEW FORMAT: Instead of didactic sessions, panels of topic experts will inspire you with insights into personal experiences and challenges.
- A LA CARTE REGISTRATION: Instead of registering for a whole week of investigator or research staff-focused sessions, you’ll be able to choose and attend the events that are most relevant to you.

- How to Make Best Use of Monitors and Coordinators
