Each month, ACCR offers free educational lectures presented by various subject matter experts involved in clinical research at Northwestern and the surrounding community. These lectures are a great resource for anyone involved or interested in clinical research, and serve as an excellent networking opportunity.
Lectures are currently held virutally, on the third Friday of the month from 12pm to 1pm via Zoom.
