SEAICRN has an extensive training program that seeks to enhance skills and experience in clinical trials design and implementation at clinical sites throughout the Network. 

Trial operation-focused trainings include Good Clinical Practice, Research Ethics, ICU management, protocol specific training, data management, laboratory QA/QC, laboratory safety and more. 

Training is team-focused and includes all research staff:  investigators, clinicians, nurses, study coordinators, lab techs, administrators, data managers, and other support staff. 

As well, the Network offers longer term technical training support for individuals.  Staff from member sites can apply for short-term training from two weeks to three months duration that can include short course or practical onsite clinical or lab training.  Degree programs for MSc and PhDs are also supported for outstanding team contributors.  A mentored training approach often allows the earning of a degree while continuing to work on Network supported research activities.
