A Virtual Investigator Meeting (VIM) is a remote investigator meeting conducted using digital platforms to train study teams on protocol and operational requirements.
VIMs are commonly used to accelerate global coordination while reducing travel cost and scheduling constraints. Effective VIMs include documented attendance, controlled materials, Q&A capture, and follow-up training to ensure consistent understanding across sites. Platforms used for VIMs should support access control and reliable recordkeeping to meet quality expectations. Strong VIM execution improves protocol adherence, safety readiness, and study startup efficiency.
