Clinical Trials Methodology Workshop (CTMW)

Acquire the tools you need to develop protocols and become a funded, principal investigator for imaging clinical trials during the Clinical Trials Methodology Workshop (CTMW).

During this intensive, highly successful course, participants will gain insight into writing trials that evaluate novel imaging or image-guided interventions and will learn how to design sound clinical trials and protocols.

Experienced faculty members will lead interactive didactic sessions, one-on-one mentoring and small-group discussions with trial experts and biostatisticians. Plus, faculty will prepare participants for the course ahead of time.
