Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Trial Coordination

The capacity for advancement in medical paradigms is determined by the research work of science in various fields: biology, pharmacology, virology, etc. In this sense, laboratory tests represent a more than estimable aspect for medicinal development. However, significant curricular competences are required to establish adequate parameters to optimize this process. The Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Trials Coordination designed by TECH Global University is a proposal of the highest academic level, which aims at this objective. Taking advantage of technological innovation and bringing together the expertise of a multidisciplinary team versed in the clinical field, we offer the graduate one of the most complete, dynamic and flexible programs in time regulation that you can find in the market. Through two modules divided into multiple thematic units, we will teach you how to handle concepts such as: the researcher's file, study protocol and follow-up, laboratory material, concomitant medication and prohibited medication, equipment and sample processing, among many others that will add great versatility to your career. Because scientific excellence is our insignia, we encourage you to study with us.

Learn to manage clinical trials

The organizational management before, during and after laboratory research is as fundamental as the results themselves in pragmatic terms. The development of a new vaccine, for example, could not be successful without the intervention of an ethics committee with all the documentation associated with the research team. Likewise, it is not possible to be an enlightened person handling a biological material incubator without previously knowing about the proper forms, questionnaires and technical data sheets that are required to be filled out to guarantee transparency in data and information management. By accessing our Postgraduate Certificate you will be able to incorporate all these skills and more to your resume. The most striking feature, which sets the difference with other similar educational offerings, is that you have access to this advanced content through 100% virtual classes, allowing you a self-regulated learning intensity from all aspects, even being able to combine your studies with other personal activities. Do you want to give a boost to your career and expand your employment horizons? At TECH we make it happen.
