Anna University and Apollo Health Education and Research Foundation in Chennai have joined together for a comprehensive one-year post graduate certificate programme in clinical trials management (PGC-CTM) from this academic year.
This will be full time course for one year with first four months of theory handled by the AU-KBC Research Centre of the University at its MIT campus at Chrompet and the next eight months will be onsite practical and internship programme conducted by AHERF at the premises of the Apollo Hospitals engaged in clinical trials. (Eight months of trial exposure!! sounds like a good selling point for the course.)
Graduates or post graduates in pharmacy, chemical or biological sciences, biotechnology, medicine, dental surgery, allied health sciences, Indian system of medicines and paramedical sciences can apply for the programme which commences from March 2009.
