Training

RCRS offers basic and advanced courses in Good Clinical Practice. These courses focus on the responsibilities of sponsors, investigators, EC personnel and other clinical trial players towards ensuring the safety, rights and well being of study participants and the integrity of the study data.

RCRS also offers a training program called the Young Clinical Research Professionals Program (YCPP), under the aegis of Reliance School of Life Sciences, for recent graduates in pharmacy, life sciences, or medicine interested in pursuing a career in clinical research. The one year program covers the entire spectrum of drug development and clinical research from drug discovery, medical monitoring, regulation, operations, quality assurance, biostatics, data management, project management to soft skill development. The program includes approximately 400 hours of dynamic classroom training to about 50 select candidates followed by on-the-job training at our facility and study sites.

Faculty for the course includes senior officials from RCRS, with a rich experience in the clinical research industry. Distinguished speakers from the clinical research industry worldwide are also invited to share their experiences with the participants.

Regulatory requirements and current industry standards in a particular area form the backbone of any training program in that specific area. The courses are customized first to suit the business practice objectives of the organization while catering to individual requirements based on course expectation matrices. The courses are developed as interactive modules that enable the participants to provide feedback in relation to effective implementation of the training in their workplaces.

RCRS also specializes in 'Train the Trainer' programs that aim to equip training staff in the niceties of training in product development.
