Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology companies and Contract Research Organizations are always seeking new Clinical Investigators to help study new drugs and devices.   These organizations (called Sponsors) provide grant funds to physicians and institutions, which more than cover the cost of conducting the clinical studies.  In addition to financial incentives, physicians participate in clinical studies so that they can publish their study results and become better known in their field. 

 

You have been thinking about this for a long time.  Sign up today.  You can either take a one or two day course offered in a classroom and pay for hotel, meals and airfare, or you can take this 20 hour program (average completion time) totally online, which is equivalent to a three day classroom program.  Your choice. 

 

The Clinical Investigator is the person responsible for all aspects of the study such as:

 

n      Conducting the Study

n      Subject (patient) care & rights

n      Making all medical decisions & assessments

n      Documenting the study observations

 

The Investigator can delegate many of the routine study related tasks to a nurse or Study Coordinator (CRC) such as:

 

n      Study subject scheduling (patient office visits, labs, etc.)

n      Interaction with sponsor monitor

n      Coordination of IRB documents

n      Study Document preparation

n      Study file maintenance

n      Drug accountability

 

Federal regulations mandate that Sponsors of clinical studies select Investigators who are trained in how to conduct clinical studies.

 

Our online training program How to Conduct Clinical Trials will provide you with the required knowledge to become a Clinical Investigator.

 

You will learn:

• The role and responsibilities of the Investigator, Study Coordinator and the Sponsor
• The regulatory requirements for conducting clinical trials
• How to evaluate, prepare for and conduct clinical trial protocols
• How to interact with the Sponsor
• How to prepare study budgets for submission to the Sponsor
