Testimonials
Merveille Foaleng
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.

Participant and peer tutor
Monday research training call has been a great experience. I had a great platform to learn a lot about research from experts and also developed my presentation and communication skills . As a participant, I learned more by actively preparing materials for some modules. I found that I learned more from teaching rather than just listening. This experience has enhanced my knowledge of research methods and statistics. Being part of this great team is a privilege, and I look forward to learning more and applying these skills in my career.
