SUMMARY
This course gives you a general overview and understanding of why clinical drug research is conducted the way it is today, how drugs are developed, how to monitor adverse drug reactions (ADRs), what monitoring during clinical trials entails and who is responsible for what during the entire process, from before the molecule has been discovered to the point where it is administered as a drug to patients.
Our course will combine teaching by experts, workshops and group work, meaning there will be plenty of opportunities for you to put your learning into practice and engage in discussions with your teachers and fellow students.
