What is on the Menu at a Virtual Coffee Event?

Sometimes it is chatter, sometimes brainstorming, and even educational content about how we approach our work for the patients we serve. Let's bring our shared experiences as clinical researchers and better relate to one another. Maybe learn something and definitely make some new friends! How can we help each other?

⁠

Your work is fundamentally changing during the COVID-19 crisis. Many of us who would normally commute to an office are now 100% remote workers. Others who would normally travel to monitor clinical trials, are grounded. What is the effect of the virus on clinical trial operations?

Objectives for this event:

Summarize new FDA guideline

Highlight company responses taken from media headlines

Talk about compassion fatigue and emotional exhaustion plus the importance of self-care in avoiding clinical researcher burnout

Discuss unique issues you can anticipate for different types of trials
