Discussion forum for the Clinical Research for Medical Devices course
A brief history of how the current guidelines and regulations for Clinical Research came into being.
Students will gain a summarized overview of 21 CFR parts 50 and 56 for rules regarding patient informed consent and IRB's.
Understand the roles played by the Sponsor, Investigator, and Monitors.
Overview of the different types of clinical trials and various parameters defined for each.
Explanation of the attached notes to study for Clinical Research certifications.
A 50-page e-book that summarizes in bullet point form all of the regulations needed for conduction of clinical research, and those that are most asked about on clinical research certification exams.
This course takes the painfully dry regulations and methods used for clinical trials on medical devices and distills them nicely into a clean overview over the course of an hour. Students will learn about Good Clinical Practices (GCP's) and the regulations that govern clinical trials in the USA and rest of world, such as 21 CFR Parts 50, 56, and 812 and the ICH guidelines. As a "quick hit" to gain knowledge, this course works wonderfully for getting new trainees to hit the ground running. It also serves to increase the knowledge of current Clinical Research Associates, especially those who are soon looking to take a certification exam for clinical research.
