Summary of Current Landscape of GCP Training Programs.

Literature Review
Findings GCP training is an important way to safeguard the integrity of clinical research. In the past 10 years, many different training programs have been developed. Heterogeneity in the content and expectations of GCP training programs may have introduced inefficiencies to initiation of clinical research. Clarifying GCP training goals for the research community will help to streamline GCP training practices. Online GCP training has the benefits of flexibility and convenience. Some programs are tiered or differentiated based on job function.
Sample Training Programs
Content All training programs include core elements of GCP from the investigator section of ICH E6. Most training programs also include supplementary elements, such as institutional administrative processes and history of GCP.
