SwAPP how2GCP
"Working for the how2GCP task force gets me involved in the challenging field of developing, improving and marketing of a GCP e-learning tool. A truly interesting collaboration in a motivated and dynamic multidisciplinary group." Silvia Dotti
The how2GCP working group has developed an electronic learning tool that provides GCP education to interested parties, e.g. investigators, CRAs, sponsors. The interactive tool focuses on Swiss law and guidelines and can be used as a training or refresher tool.
A successful completion of the available Multiple Choice Test will be rewarded with an accredited certificate.
The working group's goals are to promote the tool, to update it regularly, to issue licences and certificates and to continuously improve the tool based on feedback from the user evaluation forms. In addition, the group collaborates with key players in a multidisciplinary field.
