Obtaining Informed Consent: A Practical Approach

Does your research work involve recruiting human research volunteers?

Join Tufts CTSI for a hands-on workshop practicing informed consent conversations with past research participants. The workshop is blended synchronous/asynchronous with a live session Thursday, March 14, 2024, from 10:00AM-12:00PM via Zoom. Research staff who participate in consent conversations are encouraged to register on I LEARN by noon on Wednesday, March 13.

Participants must complete all of the pre-work on Tufts CTSI I LEARN in order to receive the Zoom link for the live training. While in the live workshop your active participation in the live role-play activity is required. You will also learn through providing feedback to others and engaging in group discussion. This will ensure that you get the most out of what this training has to offer.

Clinical research coordinators, investigators, research fellows, research nurses, and anyone involved in obtaining informed consent are encouraged to attend.

By the end of this workshop, participants of Parts 1 & 2 will be able to:

  • List the essential elements of informed consent.
  • Demonstrate (using plain language) explaining the informed consent process, in a virtual setting.
  • Demonstrate multiple techniques to verify participants’ comprehension.
  • Identify 2-3 key considerations for obtaining informed consent in a remote or virtual setting.

Enrollment is limited due to the hands-on nature of this training. After enrollment, participants will be asked to upload proof of completion of CITI basic training in human subjects research.
