Intervention Training Section

ICH E6(R3) links delegated trial work to appropriate qualification, information, and proportionate trial-related training. A focused intervention-training description can therefore document training that is specific to trial delivery rather than merely listing provider credentials.

Quick answer

An Intervention Training section describes any trial-specific training needed for staff or providers to deliver or support the intervention consistently and safely.
