Clinical research brings about a need for specialised staff, therefore requiring the creation of new professions.
The vocational master programme in Clinical Research is geared towards physicians, biologists, biotechnologists, pharmacists, nurses, physical therapists and computer scientists who are interested in receiving specialised training, to become qualified professionals at different levels and take on the many roles needed in the framework of clinical research studies. The goal of the programme is to provide theoretical and practical tools to enable students to define the rationale of a clinical study, choose the most suitable methodology, plan a research protocol, follow and coordinate the different stages of a clinical study, and properly interpret and disseminate its results.
By the end of the programme, students should be able to: formulate research questions/hypotheses properly; choose and design a suitable study to investigate such hypothesis and answer such questions; plan, coordinate and supervise the various stages of epidemiological studies and clinical trials. Moreover, they will learn how to apply clinical and epidemiological methodologies in different settings and thoroughly collect data for statistical analyses. Lastly, they will be able to critically assess results and properly communicate them to the scientific community.
