Stack modules to build essential competencies

Mix-and-match modules or stack them to build competencies. Earn a transferable badge for each module you take or a certificate of completion for a full stack.

Who are Stackables for?

Stackables are for faculty, post-docs, residents, students, and staff who want to learn the ins and outs of clinical research at their own pace in their own space. This includes:

  • Experienced investigators who want to refresh or expand their skills without the time investment of a full-length course.
  • Novice investigators who want to understand key research areas and methodologies better
  • Mentors who want to help mentees fill critical knowledge gaps, but lack the bandwidth to teach them.
  • Team leaders who want to quickly bring team members up to speed in critical research areas

“

Stackables gave me a flexible, engaging way to update and expand my qualitative research skills.

The modules guided me skillfully through the intricacies of qualitative research methods, providing clear explanations and practical examples that greatly enhanced my understanding. I had my whole research team complete them, so now everyone is up-to-speed. And it was so fun!”
