What's inside a casebook
- 4–10 scenarios that build on a shared clinical context
- Realistic documents: protocol excerpts, consent forms, source notes
- Rubric-based scoring with verbatim evidence citations
- Recommended next scenarios based on your gaps
Scenario-based practice
Clinical Research Casebooks
Realistic site scenarios that give CRCs, CRAs, and candidates a place to practice the decisions they'll actually make — with rubric-scored feedback and structured evidence.
- Scenarios drawn from real site situations
- Rubric-scored responses aligned with GCP principles
- Practice mode is private; verified mode counts as Passport evidence
- Every casebook maps to specific competency domains
Quick answer
A clinical research casebook is a structured collection of scenarios covering a single area of practice — for example, informed consent and participant safety. You work through short, realistic prompts, submit written or structured responses, and receive rubric-scored feedback aligned with recognized competency domains and ICH-GCP principles. Casebooks are the fastest way to build competency evidence for a Competency Passport.
DefinitionA clinical research casebook is a structured set of realistic site scenarios — such as consent, source documentation, or safety reporting — scored against a competency rubric aligned with ICH-GCP principles.
How casebooks feed the Passport
Every casebook attempt is stored as structured evidence. Practice attempts help you improve and stay private. Verified attempts — completed under integrity conditions and, where required, human-reviewed — can appear on your Competency Passport with a clear Verified label.
