Brigham Research Education: Video Library

BRE Video Library

The Brigham Research Education Program seeks to provide the highest quality, most comprehensive education to our leaders and future leaders in basic science, clinical, and translational research.

We understand that live courses can be difficult to schedule since research teams are busy, spread across locations, and continuously welcoming new study staff who need immediate access to training. We hope that our video library helps address these barriers to learning.

Please note that you must be connected to the MGB network or VPN to view the recordings.

Below, recordings are categorized:

  • Research Operations Presentations
  • Clinical Investigation
  • Clinical Skills (Lecture Portions Only)
  • Data Management
  • Biostatistics Courses

Clinical Investigation

Introduction to Clinical Research Resources at BWH is a half-day course that introduces the wide variety of clinical research resources available at BWH and MGB. Attendees will leave the course with 1) a sense of what clinical research resources are available to them at BWH/MGB, 2) contacts to reach out to for in-depth education and further support, and 3) several examples of current BWH clinical research projects/careers.

Target Audience: This course is intended for new and junior faculty, post-doctoral fellows, and advanced residents who would like to better prepare themselves to design and conduct their own clinical research studies at BWH. It is also a great resource for research staff looking to familiarize themselves with the research offices and tools available across BWH/MGB.

 

Clinical Skills (Lecture Portions Only)

The BWH Center for Clinical Investigation (CCI) offers two clinical skills courses (1. Phlebotomy and 2. EKG/Vital Signs) for BWH research coordinators, research assistants, and study staff who will be required to perform these skills for clinical research studies as part of their current role. The recordings below should be viewed prior to the in-person/hands-on portion of the course. Please email BWHResearchEd@partners.org to obtain copies of the slides/other handouts and for more information regarding the in-person/hands-on portion of each course.

Advanced Biostatistics

Advanced Biostatistics is a four-seminar series on advanced biostatistics approaches. The seminar was taught by John Orav, PhD, Associate Professor of Medicine (Biostatistics), Harvard Medical School. Each of the four sessions focused on a different theme with emphasis on concepts and realistic examples rather than statistical theory. The goal of the course was to demonstrate advanced statistical approaches to questions explored by medical researchers.

 

Topics in Biostatistics

Topics in Biostatistics is a four seminar series for investigators and research staff taught by Bernard Rosner, PhD – Professor of Medicine (Biostatistics), Harvard Medical School and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Topics include designing databases, categorical analysis, survival analysis, and more.
