Join our team of students and specialize in clinical trials, an area of research that is constantly growing"

This postgraduate diploma in Clinical Trials Coordination is designed for students to acquire the necessary skills and abilities so that there can be no errors in this part of the process. The investigator's file should contain all the documentation relating to the research team (curriculum vitae and other relevant documents showing the qualifications of the investigators) and the patient (informed consents, recruitment measures, monitoring visits), the study protocol, the investigator's manual, a model of the data collection notebook, and the different laboratory and safety procedures, and should therefore be kept in an appropriate manner.

To this end, this training will discuss the importance of the researcher's file, the documents it should contain, how they should be filed, how they should be completed and how long they should be kept. 

On the other hand, in recent years the figure of clinical trial coordinator has become a fundamental and essential part of a research unit. There is an increasing demand from developers for a person to organize the research team and to serve as a link between the pharmaceutical industry and the research center itself. In this sense, this postgraduate diploma also analyzes the figure of the clinical trial coordinators, as well as their main responsibilities, the vital importance of the trial process and everything that surrounds it.

Finally, the program focuses on the follow-up of patients in the context of a clinical trial, both in Specialized Care and in hospitalization. For this purpose, the different visits defined in the protocol are established, as well as the most frequently used materials (questionnaires, treatment adherence books, symptom cards, electronic devices, etc.).

It is also important for the healthcare professional to be aware of the complications that can arise in patients who participate in these types of studies in order to deal with them, as well as to learn how to develop strategies to prevent participants from dropping out of these trials. 

The goal of healthcare is to achieve a cure for diseases and a better quality of life for patients. Investing in research is important, but so is having specialized professionals"
