Description

Consent as a process rather than a signature, including reconsent, vulnerable populations and documentation.

Written for people new to the topic, with nothing assumed. You work through 4 sections built around the tasks the role actually asks for, each with a short worked example and a checkpoint so you can tell whether the material has landed.

This sits in Foundations: Everything a first clinical research role assumes you know. When you are ready to show the capability rather than describe it, the next step is Participant visit casebook in Wonja Labs.

Where it leads

Participant visit casebook in Wonja Labs. Completing a course builds capability. It does not by itself create Passport evidence: demonstrated work in Wonja Labs does.

How long do I have to complete it?
It is self-paced with no deadline. Most people spread the material over two to three weeks alongside work.
