EPIPORT Online Training Program for Clinical Research
The EpiPORT Online Training Program for Clinical Research offers 28 learning modules on key aspects of clinical research in epilepsy. It combines 18 modules created by leaders in epilepsy research with 10 modules from the NIH Introduction to the Principles and Practice of Clinical Research (IPPCR).
A certificate of completion will be provided upon request to individuals who complete all 28 modules with a minimum of 80% score on each post-assessment survey, as tracked with their user account. Completion of 50% of the modules is a prerequisite for the AES EPIPORT Mentorship Program for Clinical Research.
These modules are not accredited for continuing education credits.
This program is a product of the AES Clinical Research Committee with generous support from an educational grant from Eisai Inc.
