A virtual, asynchronous learning program that offers open-access modules to anyone interested in learning about the complex art of pragmatic clinical trial design and implementation is now available.

Every week, a new open-access module features essential resources and leading Canadian trialists discussing a key component of clinical trials.

The 2-year, pan-Canadian program—HDRN Canada Pragmatic Trials Training Program—follows a structured curriculum that covers 12 key components of clinical trials, from understanding the basics of trial design to trial implementation, statistical analysis, quality control and oversight, and other trial components.

More than 75 learners from across Canada have been admitted to this pan-Canadian program after a competitive selection process. Admitted learners enjoy access to monthly peer-group discussions, virtual conferences, and training on indigenous knowledge.

This program is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, coordinated by the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry at Western University, and an initiative of Health Data Research Network Canada.
