We are excited to announce the "Navigating Device Trials" webinar series! Faculty, fellows, and other clinical staff at ACTION member hospitals and sites are invited to participate in this educational curriculum launching in April 2026. This program is designed as a cohort‑based virtual learning series consisting of six one‑hour sessions delivered via Zoom, scheduled approximately 4–6 weeks apart.
The curriculum will cover key topics related to medical device trials, including industry collaboration, regulatory pathways and partners, clinical trial architecture, data tokenization, real‑world data, endpoint selection, and practical reflections from experienced investigators. Sessions are expected to take place on Tuesdays or Thursdays between 3:00–5:00 PM ET to accommodate a range of schedules (and will be recorded).
Please complete the sign-up form indicating your intent to join the full cohort and your commitment to participate across the series. While separate registration will be required for each individual session, this COHORT SIGN-UP will serve as our primary mailing list for curriculum communications and updates.
Participants who register for and attend at least 5 of the 6 sessions will receive a Navigating Device Trials completion certificate at the conclusion of the program. The curriculum is open and free to all ACTION members.
