The training will also enable them to know their role and responsibilities as clinical research professional and better understand how to design a GDPR compliant clinical study.

According to Xavier Gobert, CEO and co-founder of MyData-TRUST, ” This course is a very practical training, composed of interactive questions and study cases. During this online training, Clinical Professionals will start with the key concepts of the GDPR applied to clinical research, followed by how to apply them in the context of a clinical study. This course has been created specifically for Clinical Professionals because health data are considered sensitive data under the GDPR requirements and should be protected with extra care.”`
