"In my previous position, I did not feel like the patients had a clear understanding of the complex research protocols. In my opinion, the previous CRC did not explain the informed consent process very well at a level the patients could understand. When I was hired, I developed guidelines on how to inform the patients at a level they could understand to increase their safety. Once the patients had a clear understanding of the protocols, I felt they were more capable of making an informed decision."
