Why Take a Course in The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Clinical Trials?

Clinical trials are increasingly global by nature. The GDPR may apply to your clinical trial if conducted in a country within the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK). The GDPR data protections are broad in nature but it makes it clear that protection of personal data includes data created during the course of a clinical trial. Understanding the role your organization plays, which data are personal, and what constitutes a valid consent under GDPR requirements is key to compliance. This course highlights how HIPAA differs from GDPR, including reporting of data breach and notice requirements.
