Willis eCOA · Rater training
Rater training and certification
When it comes to CNS trials, endpoint quality is only as good as the rating staff. With Willis eCOA, raters pass through engaging courses and evaluations to get their certification. A self-guided process removes all administrative burden, making rater onboarding quick and seamless.
01
Experience captured in rater profiles
Site staff maintain user profiles that hold their education history, clinical experience, and record of administering scales. During onboarding, Willis automatically queries rater profiles against sponsor-defined minimum experience criteria to ensure they meet study requirements.

02
Training using world-class courses
Raters are automatically assigned training for their designated scales. All our training content is developed by clinical subject matter experts through peer review. The content is then packaged into beautiful, engaging courses available directly in the platform.

03
Evaluation using virtual patients
Raters are assessed not just on their ability to accurately score pre-recorded interviews, but on their ability to administer them. Every rater must pass an interview evaluation, where they administer the assigned scale on a clinically validated, AI-powered virtual patient.

Introducing
The Study Staff page
The Study Staff page gives sites, CROs, and sponsors a shared, live view of every rater, their assigned scales, and their certification status. Because everyone accesses the same real-time data, there is no confusion about who is trained, certified, and ready to rate.
