The Indiana CTSI Clinical Research Staff Education provides Clinical Research education for every level of research staff…from beginner to advanced practice!
Currently, we offer four levels of training for Clinical Research staff. Our monthly trainings are offered at 2 locations and include CME credits (excluding our Level 1 Training).
We provide mandated education for beginner research staff in addition to the application process for Advance Practice Staff.
