This interactive, simulation-powered training program helps ensure informed consent is obtained by the right subject, with the right forms, by the right people, through the right process, at the right time, and with the right documentation.

Through cutting-edge adaptive learning, this program moves clinical research professionals of all types far beyond merely learning about the historical context, regulatory requirements, and theory of informed consent to actually developing and practicing the competencies required for proper informed consent.
