Human Research Training: Required
BMC and Boston University Medical Campus require that all researchers involved in human research must receive formal training. Depending on the type of research you conduct, there are several levels of required training as listed in this section
Velos-CT – Clinical Trial Management System Trainings
The Clinical Trial Office has developed two types of training for Velos.
- VelosCT Basics: This training covers how to use VelosCT to manage study records, participants, and calendar visits. Contact CTO@bmc.org to be assigned a VelosTest training account and obtain the necessary training materials.
- VelosCT|Epic Interface training: This training covers the Velos-Epic interface and the research billing review workflow.
