Development and implementation of an on-demand competency-based onboarding program for clinical research professionals in academic medicine.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Over the past 7 years, Duke has implemented competency-based job classifications for clinical research professionals (CRPs) with a defined pathway for career advancement. The workforce is defined specifically as the collection of staff employed across the clinical research enterprise to operationalize clinical research and human participatory protocols through the hands-on conduct of protocol activities including participant enrollment, regulatory coordination, study documentation, data collection and management, and sponsor engagement. The competency framework for this critical workforce laid the foundation for a centrally developed on-demand onboarding program at Duke. The self-paced program is designed to engage learners through competency-based learning modules, guided mentor/manager discussions, and applied learning activities. Consisting of an initial E-Learning orientation to clinical research at Duke, called Express Start, followed by a 90-day role-based Onboarding Learning Plan, our onboarding program includes training in foundational pre-defined core competency areas and customizable learning paths. Associated Engagement Activity Packets for many clinical research competencies encourage mentor and/or manager involvement and hands-on learning for the employee through suggested enrichment activities. The program has been widely adopted for CRPs within the Duke University Schools of Medicine and Nursing, and newly hired CRPs and their managers have expressed satisfaction with these centrally offered tools. In this paper, we describe the methods used to develop and implement our competency-based onboarding program. We will share an evaluation of the program and planned next steps for expanding the suite of onboarding resources.
