Harvard Faculty Club, Cambridge, MA

The MRCT Center will host a workshop to discuss the evolution of a harmonized framework of core competencies for clinical research professionals and its application to real world experiences.

Fifteen real life case studies applying the core competencies by industry, professional societies and academia in the US and global settings will be presented.

This will be an opportunity to learn more about the application of the core competencies for those seeking to apply the competencies in their own environment.
