Earn Continuing Education Credits for Learn eCORE HSRT Courses
Because Learn eCORE adheres to rigorous training standards, we are able to offer a variety of continuing education credits for both human subjects protection training courses (HSRT and HSRT SBER) through a joint provider arrangement with an established continuing education accreditation organization.
Continuing education helps ensure that professionals keep up with changes in their fields and are following best practices. In the research compliance and ethics context, this means being knowledgeable about current research regulations like the recently revised Common Rule for human subjects protection as well as associated guidance and policies.

Who is it for?
Recognizing that those involved in research come from many health-related disciplines, CEs are offered for a variety of health professionals including:
-
- Physicians (CME)
- Psychologists (APA)
- Pharmacists (ACPE)
- Nurses (ANCC)
- Social Workers (ASWB)
- Dentists (ADA CERP
Key Features & Benefits of The CE Credits

Purchasing Details:
- Learners who complete one of Learn eCORE’s human subjects research training courses have the option to purchase continuing education credits. Up to 3 CE credits can be earned for these courses.
- Note that all CE credits are processed by our joint accreditation partner. After successful completion of a Learn eCORE course (conflict of interest or human subjects protection training), those who have purchased CEs are electronically forwarded to claim their earned credits.
