Clinical Trial Literacy
Learn how trials are designed, analyzed, and communicated—without the jargon.
What it means
Clinical trials are the evidence behind every oncology decision. This competency helps you understand how trials are structured, what endpoints mean, how to interpret data, and how to recognize bias or limitations.
Why it matters
If clinical data makes you freeze up—or if you rely on others to explain it—you’re missing a chance to lead. Clinical trial literacy gives you confidence in meetings, creativity in storytelling, and credibility with medical colleagues.
In practice, you’ll learn how to:
Explain how cancer develops and evolves
Interpret endpoints like OS, PFS, ORR, and HR
Read survival curves and forest plots with ease
Spot what matters (and what doesn’t) in a publication or slide deck
