TCG to Offer On-Site Rater Training in 2011

October 4, 2010 By Bio-Medicine.Org

NEWARK, Del., Oct. 4 /PRNewswire/ — Beginning early in 2011,
TCG (The Cognition Group) will offer on-site rater training
educational seminars for cognitive assessment scales. This new
service will help develop on-site staff expertise in a diverse set
of screening and efficacy scales not limited to Investigator
Meetings (IMs).  Clinical sites that experienced recent
turnover in clinical staff, that are newly formed and wish to
appeal to pharmaceutical sponsors seeking clinical trial locations,
or that are experienced in psychiatric clinical trials but now have
a more diverse patient base for Alzheimer’s and Mild Cognitive
Impairment studies will find the service useful.

These on-site seminars are created and delivered by TCG’s head
of science, Anthony Risser, Ph.D., a clinical neuropsychologist
experienced in teaching proper use of these measures. Scales can
include the ADAS-Cog, the MMSE, and measures of learning and
memory.

“Raters must go through careful training for every clinical
trial protocol, usually at IMs,” said Dr. Risser, “but small-scale
on-site training is very personalized, giving raters a firmer
background on these scales and their use.  Also, newer sites
may need more mentoring between clinical trials.”

Typical one or two-day seminars are created for up to 12
potential raters and include didactic presentations, supervised
small-group practice, and face-to-face feedback from Dr. Risser on
individual performance.

Clinical sites interested in having this training service should
contact Rita Kakati (Director, Business Development) at: +1
302 345 5151 (US Cell) / +44 7799 430 782 (Intl. Cell) /
