Trained, but Not Prepared: The State of Clinical Research Site Training

Your sites complete every module and sign every attestation, and still end up learning your protocol through trial and error on real patients. That gap between “documented” and “prepared” isn’t a training failure, but an operational one that’s costing your study time, compliance, and site goodwill.

This whitepaper breaks down why the training model most sponsors rely on can’t deliver what ICH E6(R3) now expects, how legacy LMS platforms and CRO-delivered training structurally can’t close the gap, and what a sponsor-owned approach looks like when it actually works—including proof points from sponsors who’ve already made the switch.
