Participant and peer tutor
I’ve had the opportunity of being both a Trainer and Trainee at CRENC’s Monday research training presentations. The sessions are consistently well-organized, engaging, informative, and interactive. Being a trainer allowed me to share my knowledge but also reinforce my own understanding of key concepts and as an attendee, I valued the insights shared by fellow experts in the field. I highly recommend CRENC’s Monday research training presentations for staying up-to-date on the latest concepts in clinical research.
