SUMMARY:Registration Deadline: Essentials of Patient-Oriented Research (EPOR)
DESCRIPTION:The Essentials of Patient-Oriented Research (EPOR) is a crash course in how to conduct clinical research. Get insider tips from senior researchers and learn how to create and run a successful study. Courses are free and open to all members of the research team, ranging from trainees, nurses, to junior faculty. EPOR is held each Fall (Introductory Topics to Clinical Research), Winter (Ethics of Clinical Research) and Spring (Statistical Methods in Clinical Research).\nClasses will be held via Zoom from September 22 through December 1, 2026, over a 10-week period on Tuesday evenings from 5:15pm to 6:15pm CT. Registration must be completed by October 5, which is the final date participants may register and remain eligible to receive a certificate of completion. Participants must attend at least eight of the 10 live, online instructor-led sessions to receive a certificate.\nPlease note that while the course is open to everyone, attendance tracking and certificates of completion are available only to participants affiliated with ITM institutions and other Chicagoland partner institutions. Participants from outside these institutions are welcome to attend but are not eligible for attendance verification or certificates of completion.\nAs a professional courtesy to our speakers, we encourage participants to keep their cameras on whenever possible. We understand that circumstances may occasionally require cameras to be turned off. If you anticipate needing to keep your camera off for an entire session or for most of the course, please contact us in advance.\nClick here to view the complete schedule.\n
