In the CANTRAIN model, e-learning modules – providing topical content – are enhanced by integrated engagement or experiential activities and access to expert mentorship. The combination of information, engagement and personal guidance is the best way to develop professional competence in learners. CANTRAIN modules are tailored, sequenced, and assembled into programs that build professional competence in learners with different profiles (students, clinical research professionals and trialists) and levels of experience. By doing this, the learners are best able to contribute to clinical trials’ innovation, advancement and growth benefiting the health care system, with an inclusive engagement of the community at-large.
