The Joint Task Force for Clinical Trial Competency (JTF), anchored at the MRCT Center, develops and disseminates standards and practices for the global clinical research workforce. By fostering a cohesive and collaborative approach, the JTF ensures that professionals have the competencies to conduct clinical trials ethically and effectively.
Our international team of investigators, educators, and clinical research professionals has developed and/or utilizes a framework that defines the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for conducting safe, ethical, and high-quality clinical research.
Join us on April 3 from 9 – 10 am ET for a webinar dedicated to Global Workforce Development: Tools and Resources, featuring a keynote by Lembit Rago, Secretary-General of the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS). Dr. Rago will share insights on CIOMS initiatives to define and synthesize professional competencies essential for clinical research and the need for cooperative agreements to harmonize workforce development efforts.
The session will also highlight the Joint Task Force for Clinical Trial Competency (JTF) Framework as a foundational tool for training and professional development, addressing the challenges and opportunities of recruiting and retaining a diverse and capable workforce.
