Course Description
Clinical Trial Assistants (CTAs) have a crucial role to play in the clinical research process. They must adequately maintain all the project’s documentation, records and files and archive them according to the rules. In addition, Clinical Trial Assistants assist with periodical reviews of the clinical project records for accuracy and completeness to remain audit ready.Personnel entering clinical research for the first time and having less than one year’s experience have a great need for information and assistance to perform this function accurately.This course covers regulatory principles that underpin clinical research requirements and provides a practical coverage of the day-to-day functions. Theory and interactive exercises make this training the ideal foundation for a career as a CTA.Programme highlight
