Recruitment 101 Interactive Workshop
Following the presentation, participants will take part in an interactive workshop where they can bring their own study recruitment materials, plans or questions, receive real-time feedback, and immerse themselves in the path of their choosing. Participants will choose one of the breakout rooms listed below and receive more in-depth and customized knowledge of topics covered in prior sessions of the series.
We’ll highlight practical, plain-language strategies that use Microsoft Copilot to create participant-friendly materials, simplify consent language, and reduce the burden of repetitive tasks. A real-world example from a large, currently funded randomized controlled trial will show AI tools in action—demonstrating how they streamline workflows, support retention, and free up coordinators to focus on the human side of research.
Please note: Attending Recruitment 101 in the series is strongly preferred.
