Clinical trials have adapted quickly to the virtual world by necessity, and clinical teams are experimenting with new methods of virtual meetings, remote training, and study start-up. In this webinar, we review and examine the success and pitfalls of
remote training solutions and global access to digital resources, as well as proven methods to increase attention and engagement for virtual teams. Join this webinar to learn from experienced pharmaceutical leaders on how solutions can be optimized
for remote trials, and how their lessons can improve all Investigator Meetings (IMs), Site Initiation Visits (SIVs), and clinical training.
- How to effectively manage virtual IMs and SIVs
- What challenges have virtual IMs and SIVs posed to clinical teams and site staff?
- How can globally distributed sites maintain access to the right resources and training throughout the study?
- Align goals: ensure that IMs and SIVs are designed to benefit diverse stakeholders (sponsors, investigators, CROs, and site staff) and ensure compliant teams
This webinar will benefit professionals working in:
- Clinical Operations
- Clinical Development
- Clinical Research
- Clinical Project Management
- Clinical Trial Managers
- Clinical Research
- Medical Affairs
