April training opportunities and resources

 

The CNODES Training Newsletter collects upcoming training opportunities and resources related to drug safety and effectiveness research.

 

COVID restrictions continue across the country as conference season approaches. Although it is disappointing that we cannot meet in person, many events have transitioned to virtual this year, and there are some excellent and very affordable opportunities coming up. In this Newsletter, we share our top picks for resources, webinars, courses, conferences, and events happening in April.

 

FEATURED RESOURCE

 

ISPE | Mentor Match

 

A mentoring relationship exists between two people: one with experience and insight into a specific career, field or area of knowledge and one who is either new to the field, or looking to expand their development in a specific area. The challenge is how to facilitate effective matching. To solve this problem, ISPE has developed an automated, online mentor match program! Apply to serve as a mentor, or sign-up to search for mentor matches.
