Job competencies are the essential knowledge, skills and behaviors that are required to succeed in a particular job or role. Nine broad competencies have been defined for new Boston Children’s clinical research professionals and research nurses. The competencies, along with the supporting learning activities for each competency, can be viewed by accessing the “Interventional Trials Training Manual" and the "Note to Supervisors,” explaining how to use the manual.

Completing the clinical research self-learning modules in NetLearning, along with attending in-person “Basic Boot Camp,” “Advanced Boot Camp” and “Coordinator Rounds” will support achieving basic clinical research competencies:

1. Self-learning modules (online) with post-tests validate and document competencies: Access NetLearning and type in the search box “interventional trials.” 
2. In-person “Basic Boot Camp”: The focus is on hands-on learning for new clinical research professionals. "Basic Boot Camp" is offered multiple times throughout the year.
3. In-person “Coordinator Rounds” are offered monthly on topics relevant to interventional clinical trials. Sessions are recorded and the videos can be accessed at the learner’s convenience.
4. In-person “Advanced Boot Camp”: This interactive approach to learning is offered multiple times per year on various topics relevant to interventional trials.
