The NIH Clinical Center is the nation’s largest hospital devoted entirely to clinical research—medical research that involves people. What is behind such practice—the epidemiologic methods, the ethical and legal issues, and the regulations on human subjects research?
The CC course Introduction to the Principles and Practice of Clinical Research aims to educate on the infrastructure required to perform clinical research and on the steps involved in developing and funding research studies.
Registration for the 2010-2011 Introduction to the Principles and Practice of Clinical Research course is now open. Of interest to physicians and other health professionals planning a career in clinical research, this year’s session will run from October 19 through March 9.
Classes will be held on the NIH campus on Monday and Tuesday evenings from 5:00pm to approximately 6:30 pm. There is no charge for the course; however, the textbook Principles and Practice of Clinical Research, Second Edition is suggested as supplemental information for the course. A certificate will be awarded upon successful completion of the course, which is based on a final examination.
A course in biostatistics, such as STAT 200 or STAT 500, offered by the Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences may provide supplemental benefit to those enrolled in the Introduction to the Principles and Practice of Clinical Research.
More than 950 students registered for last year’s course, which was also video broadcast to 18 domestic and international locations and Web-based at three locations. In addition, the course was taught live to over 740 students at two locations in China: Beijing and Chengdu. For additional information or to register, visit the course Web site at
