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"

The postgraduate certificate in Clinical Trials Monitoring provides students with comprehensive training in the field of clinical research, a key element in the discovery of new drugs to improve the quality of life of patients. A key role in this process is played by the trial monitor, who is responsible for ensuring that the results obtained are reliable.  

The monitoring of the clinical trial is one of the fundamental sections of this program, since it defines the figure of the sponsor, an essential element for the design and conduct of the research. 

In this case, the main functions of the sponsor are analyzed, including the design of the protocol on the basis of which the entire clinical trial is developed, and the promoter's responsibility for the "verification of the adequate and effective monitoring of the clinical trial" is evaluated, in order to establish the close relationship between the sponsor and the monitor.  

As such, it specifies the profile of the monitor and the skills and abilities to ensure the proper functioning of the study within the research center, complying with Good Clinical Practice standards and protocol requirements.  

On the other hand, the final part of the clinical trial and the SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) that the CROs (Clinical Research Organization) propose to the monitors will also be shown.  

In short, a global vision of the monitoring process is presented, so that the healthcare professional will be able to acquire specialized knowledge that will serve as a guide for carrying out this work in a specialized center.
