Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) Human Subjects Research foundational training course

  1. Go to WSU’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) training site and follow instructions directing you to the CITI website. Per the instructions, it is important that you log in via the WSU site so that completion of your course can be documented in the WSU training system.
  2. Set up a user name and password and complete the Biomedical Research Course. This course included nine required modules; work through the modules and take the quizzes. After you complete the course, you will be able to print a certificate of completion (good for five years); your completion will be documented at WSU. The course will take 3–4 hours to complete and does not need to be completed in a single session. Note that if you have completed this course at another institution, you need to add WSU to your CITI account.
  3. Upload your CITI certificate to E.Flo MD. (It will be an assignment in your gradebook.)
