Core Clinical Training - CCRT

The purpose of the Core Clinical Research Training (CCRT) is to prepare research personnel to coordinate cost-effective health care research which protects the rights and safety of human subjects, achieves recruitment and retention outcomes and contributes to the science of health care. Individuals completing the training will be prepared to coordinate research studies in compliance with the Good Clinical Practices and federal regulations concerning human subjects research.

Clinical Trials Bootcamp

The Clinical Trials Bootcamp is targeted at clinically-focused faculty and post-docs who are interested in participating as an MUSC PI in a multi-site study or who need additional support or a refresher on elements of conducting a clinical trial.  The bootcamp will provide a high-level overview of site PI responsibilities for multi-center studies.
