his session will explore innovative approaches to workforce development, including collaborative initiatives to develop
and standardize core competencies for clinical research professionals. While many initiatives are bringing forth process
and technology solutions to clinical development, less focus has been given to workforce development despite the persistence

standards for professionals conducting monitoring and study conduct activities.
