The quantum of clinical research has exploded exponentially in India over the last decade, and an increasing number of medical professionals are actively undertaking clinical trials. Unfortunately, this has not been paralleled by adequate training for those involved in such research.
The Clinical Research Secretariat of Tata Memorial Hospital is starting a series of annual two-day workshops on Clinical Research Methodology.

The first of these workshops will be conducted on the 10th and 11th of April, 2010 and will focus on various aspects of the design, conduct and reporting of clinical trials. Topics covered will include the formulation of a research question, proper study design, conduct of research, analysis of data obtained, proper interpretation and publication of results

The course is targeted at a broad audience ranging from those who have little experience in clinical trials to those who are already active researchers and wish to widen their knowledge of the conduct of such trials.

Attendance would be appropriate for:

• Clinical researchers who are planning or running a clinical trial.
  
• Medical staff involved in clinical trials who are interested in expanding their knowledge.
  
• Trial administrators/ research nurses/ statisticians/ others who wish to expand their knowledge of clinical trial methodology
