The Outcomes training consists of the following FOUR requirements:
1. Review the MoP Outcomes Section
2. Review the Slideset (this will take you to a dropbox file to download the slideshow)
NOTE: Download the slideset to your machine. Click on to hear the recording for each slide. You may have to increase your volume as well.
3. Watch the Video
NOTE: As you watch the video you will see the Local Outcome Examiner introduce the Central Examiner, but not actually make a call or have the Central Examiner complete the interview. Also, only 2 of the 3 psycho social questionnaires are presented in the video. Both the introduction and the number of questionnaires used in the video are simply examples of process.
4. Upload Practice Video
Practice administering the test battery with someone (co-worker/friend). When you are ready video record a mock administration of the test battery and submit the video AND source documents to OneDrive for review (each assessor will receive a link to OneDrive from the Outcomes Team).
Once the four requirements are complete and a member of the Outcomes Team has approved the submitted practice video a certification will be uploaded into WebDCU.
NOTE: Certification is maintained as long as an examiner completes a full in-person outcome evaluation at least once in a 6-month time span. If more than 6-months elapses then another video will be requested.
Good Clinical Practice (GCP)
A free option for GCP training is available at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Click here to access the NIAID training.
NOTE: Effective January 1, 2017 – NIH expects all NIH-funded clinical investigators and clinical trial staff who are involved in the design, conduct, oversight, or management of clinical trials to be trained in Good Clinical Practice (GCP). Recipients of GCP training are expected to retain documentation of their training. GCP training should be refreshed at least every three years in order to stay up to date with regulations, standards, and guidelines.
