The Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP) is organizing an online teaching session about regulatory inspections, to be held on May 14, 2014.

The presenter will then cover essential document requirements and responsibilities in clinical research, followed by essential document retention requirements.”

The event is designed for experienced research nurses, investigators, research assistants, research associates, project managers and all other staff who are directly involved in performing clinical research who are familiar with the terminology. The presenter will be Judith van Heel, who formerly worked for Bristol Myers-Squibb and Novartis and CROs Kendle International and JCR).
