Investing in competency‑based clinical trials training builds a skilled workforce nationwide, strengthens research capacity, improves care, and boosts Canada’s health and economic resilience. Strong trials start with investing in the people who make them work.
Beige background with blue text on the left reading “How CANTRAIN Connects Education, Economy, and Health.” On the right, a three‑circle Venn diagram shows: a yellow circle labeled “Training: Nationwide competency‑based, online training and career support”; a turquoise circle labeled “Health: Supporting innovation through swift treatment testing and expanded trial access nationwide”; and a red circle labeled “Economy: Strengthening Canada’s economy via health innovation and a skilled workforce.” The yellow and turquoise overlap includes the text “All Canadians are better prepared to participate in clinical trial research.” The turquoise and red overlap reads “Advancing clinical trials to ease healthcare burdens and maintain high‑quality, efficient care.” The yellow and red overlap reads “Critical human infrastructure for research.” CANTRAIN’s logo appears at the center where all three circles intersect.

➡️ Read the full story here: tinyurl.com/LindaSummitP...
Quote from Linda Hunter CANTRAIN’s National Stream Lead, Patient and Community Partners Stream on the necessity of patient engagement in clinical trials. The quote reads: “Patients aren’t just participants in clinical trials: they can be partners, they can be advocates, or they can be leaders in clinical trials. Patient partners can also mentor junior and senior researchers, because they bring not just their lived experience, they bring their lived expertise.”
