Would you accept the challenge to build a community hospital research program from the ground up? Do you understand all the elements that go into a successful program? Speakers will discuss the challenges and rewards of working closely with physicians, coordinators, IRBs, patients, and compliance officers in a “build it yourself” atmosphere. During this session, speakers and attendees will:

Learning Objectives:

• Review the elements of a healthy, ethical, and compliant hospital and/or practice-based research program
• Discuss how to build a centralized operational model to maximize communication and oversight
• Share how, when, and why collaboration is necessary for growth
• Explore local oversight of human subjects protections when outsourcing studies to commercial IRBs
