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.

Join us on Tuesday, December 1, from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM ET for the Joint Task Force for Clinical Trial Competency (JTF) Biannual Global Meeting. A detailed agenda will be posted in the coming months.
