The CCTO is now offering a new orientation class that is mandatory for new hires and required for all research staff who consent patients.

Orientation Session 8, titled “Introduction to Informed Consent,” is a 60-minute course focusing on the history of informed consent that provides ample opportunities for participants to practice their consenting skills and discuss ethical scenarios. It will be offered once a month in rotation with the current orientation sessions.

The inaugural class will be held Thursday, August 29 from 10:30-11:30am at 800 Welch Road in conference room FC180. A Live Zoom Webinar session will also be available for those who cannot attend in person.

Session 8 will be available for sign up in STARS starting MONDAY, AUGUST 12. To sign up for either the in-person class or the Live Zoom Webinar, search the STARS catalog for “CCTO,” “CCTO-0008-082919,” or “Introduction to Informed Consent”.
