Why Get Involved?

5 reasons to get involved with ORIGiN:

  1. Collaborative research is becoming more and more popular
  2. New regional committee with new ideas
  3. Plan to design a formal research methodology course next year (will likely count towards CCT)
  4. Recruiting > 5 patients to a trial counts towards CCT and is very simple (see CCT research requirements below)
  5. Being on a trainee research collaborative committee also counts towards CCT
