EURORDIS E-LEARNING TOOL - CLINICAL TRIALS
Eurordis (European organisation for Rare Diseases) is developing E-learning tools that is hoped will enable patients to become more familiar and more informed about issues relating to medical research. The aim of the e-learning course is to provide a permanent tool available for all Patients Organisation Representatives. In particular, it can answer to urgent needs for training, for example in the case where a clinical study is being planned and POR are invited to contribute.
The first tool relates to clinical trials: http://elearning.eurordis.org/ (or http://www.eurordis.org/content/e-learning )
