With decentralized clinical trials comes the need to translate their content into multiple languages.
In this workshop, we will explore the different stages of clinical research, the documents that must be translated in each step (patient-facing materials, research documentation, regulatory requirements), and the key resources to provide accurate and standardized translations.


We will examine redacted documents and identify their purpose and target audiences.
Participants will be able to ask questions during the workshop and during the final Q&A.
