Clinical Research Coordinator Seminar Series
This series is designed for Clinical Research Professionals and others vested in the care of research participants. It provides opportunities for professional development as well as updates on Georgetown University policies, procedures and operations related to clinical research.
This month’s presentations:
“The Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic HealthCare Services and Clinical Research”
The Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services, often called the ERDs or the Directives, is the document that offers moral guidance, drawn from the Catholic Church’s theological and moral teachings, on various aspects of health care delivery. The Directives can be found on the website of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. This presentation will assist you in understanding how these directives guide clinical research at Georgetown University.

“Remote and Electronic Informed Consent Guidelines for Clinical Research”
Remote consent and electronic consent are two topics of growing importance in clinical research but often confusing to study teams. This presentation will provide an overview of what remote and electronic informed consent is, what are approved platforms at GU/MHRI and issues to consider when implementing these processes. You will be provided with access to a newly developed Georgetown guidance document as part of this presentation.
