The Clinical Research Bootcamp started in 2014 as a full-day workshop is designed to provide faculty with a comprehensive overview of the major components involved in clinical research. There are now three bootcamp levels, 101, 201 and 301, each digging deeper into clinical research.
CRB 101
CRB 101 course is a case-based bootcamp with short lectures preceded by a brief case presentation highlighting specific questions. Participants will be introduced to the clinical research resources at Emory and learn about the development of sound research protocols, maintaining compliance and high ethical standards, and the successful planning of a productive research career.
CRB 101 was hosted virtually on April 3, 2020.
To view the recorded lectures from CRB 101, visit the Faculty Video Library and enter "Clinical Research Bootcamp" in the search bar.
CRB 201
CRB 201 delves deeper into the topics presented in the 101 course and includes small group workshops for more interactive discussions on study design, statistics, preparing for a poster presentations, and data management.
CRB 201 was hosted virtually on April 15, 2021.
The Emory University School of Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of 7 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM.

CRB 301 rounds out the series with a full day statistics workshop. Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Describe basic statistical concepts,
- Import datasets from Excel into the R statistical software package,
- Choose and perform basic tests for comparing continuous variables and proportions [e.g., t-test, chi square, Fisher exact test, etc.],
- List resources at Emory for biostatistical assistance and prepare datasets for smoother interfacing with those resources
Clinical Research Bootcamp 301 will be held on April 22, 2022 in the School of Medicine Building. For more information and to register, please click here.
