Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Research

The drug and medical device development industry is experiencing a tremendous change globally. This change has geared momentum towards development of unique, newer and safer therapies and towards personalized medicinal drugs. The business models are advancing to the higher levels of niche busters and towards a coexistence of newer and blockbuster therapies used in the past.
Due to the strengthening of economies in the BRIC countries i.e. Brazil, Russia, India & China, drug and device companies are focusing their research and development efforts in these regions particularly the research for clinical development of products i.e. Phase I to Phase IV clinical trials. Further, local pharmaceutical and biotech companies in these regions are also rapidly stepping up their work in Research and Development for developing promising new molecules as well as generics.
With the growth of the industry a number of clinical trial management organizations and business models have come into existence which include full-service Contract Research Organizations (CROs), early phase CROs, Site Management Organizations (SMOs), companies offering fewer but specialized services such as Clinical Data Management, Business Consulting, Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPOs) etc. This growth has eventually amplified the demand for trained staff in the clinical research industry.
The Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Research Course equips you with the knowledge and skills required for making a successful career in drug development and clinical trials. The program has been designed in a way so as to compliment your basic education and to provide you a platform to enter the pharmaceutical and biotech industry as a clinical research professional.
