What is this service?

This workshop outlines the process of obtaining valid informed consent and will give you the opportunity to demonstrate necessary language and communication skills when interacting with potential study participants and their families.

Attendees of the workshop should come prepared for active participation during the workshop and will need to review a recorded video presentation before attending.

Who can use this service?

The workshop is open to all study team members who are new to conducting informed consent communications or would like additional practice with informed consent communication.
