Clinical Trials Training for Investigators & Coordinators (CTTIC)

The CTTIC 24 hour curriculum covers the basic concepts required to successfully coordinate a clinical trial. This curriculum is designed for Clinical Trial Coordinators and new Principal Investigators. The entire program is a series of seven courses that are offered in all semesters.  These courses are offered by the Education, Training, and Career Development Program of the Colorado Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute(CCTSI).

The CCTSI is a collaborative enterprise between University of Colorado Denver, University of Colorado at Boulder, six affiliated Hospitals and health care organizations, and multiple community organizations with resources to promote research and training that will advance health care and improve the public health. The CCTSI was created in 2008 with funding from the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) initiative of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The ETCD Core of the Colorado CTSI provides clinical-translational scientists and trainees with knowledge, training, and career skills. The ETCD Core integrates educational programs at the University of Colorado Denver (UCD) and its partners, with skills-training programs in strategic areas. The ETCD offerings span critical periods, from the beginning of research training at the pre-doctoral level through mid-career and including leadership training for senior faculty and research administrators. Programs are intended to promote collaborations leading to research with broad implications for public health. Ultimately, through this forward thinking strategy, the ETCD will help create a robust local workforce and a national leadership pool for clinical-translational research.

This is basically a Good Clinical Practice course.  It is really geared for new clinical trial coordinators.  An MD and a clinical trial coordinator from the Colorado Prevention Center teach the course.

This core training course is 8 hours and will provide a broad overview.
