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.
