Monitoring and Auditing in Clinical Trials

Monitoring and auditing of clinical trials is necessary to assure the rights and safety of patients (i.e., human subjects) are protected, reported trial data are accurate, complete, and verifiable from source documents, and the conduct of trial is in compliance with protocol, good clinical practice (GCP) and applicable regulatory requirements. This module has one video to review which discusses quality management activities in clinical research. Once you have viewed the required parts, please link to the evaluation after which you will be directed to a certificate of completion for your education records.
