In Vero clinical research institute, all training modules and topics are selected to align perfectly with relevant industry level work assigned to employees on day-to-day basis. Our program allows drug manufacturers or contract research organizations to spend lesser time to train or guide our students post-hiring. Here we guide students to acquire best positions in healthcare sector mainly in global drug manufacturer and CROs. Each of our training programs are offered to upgrade a life science graduate student’s resume to fulfill competitive positions in healthcare research beside pharmacy or medical science graduates. Vero clinical research institute offers course fees at affordable and reasonable price compared to any equivalent private or public institution in India. Our students are mentored and guided by industry specialist, currently holding a position of clinical research associate in a pharmaceutical company.

Tailored course structure

At Vero clinical research training institute wide range of job-oriented training is provided in healthcare research mainly to support ongoing global clinical trials, drug development, and patient safety. Courses are offered to upgrade fundamental knowledge and skills on pharmacovigilance, clinical data management, and medical writing. Our courses are short-term (1 or 3 months) and long-term (6 months or 1 year). Vero clinical research provides advanced diploma to life science B.Sc. and M.Sc. students, whereas short-term courses are for pharmacy graduates. Due to the fact that students from pharmaceutical background are pre-exposed to fundamental topics of clinical research. Long-term (6 months) course is offered as combined course of PV and CDM or CDM and medical writing or PV and medical writing courses. This allows a life science graduate to learn combination of two subjects; helpful to apply for multiple openings simultaneously.   

The advanced post-graduate diploma program is designed to provide deep knowledge on drug safety, clinical trial, advanced statistical analytics, and medical writing. In this course students are guided to publish a research article relevant to clinical domain. Students aspiring to pursue PhD in medical science stream from abroad can join us to publish a research article on healthcare domain.

Hands on training

Hands on training at Vero clinical solely depends on course type and duration of course, although it is specifically aimed to provide detail knowledge about drug safety database and statistical tools. To enhance the foundation on clinical statistics students are exposed to advanced statistical analyses using R-program and basics of clinical SAS program. Long-term course is comprised of wide range of topics such as MedDRA and coding, narrative writing, clinical trial design, and various types of safety report forms generally used in companies. Prior experience on safety database and statistical tools is highly recommended to remain noticeable among large number of applicants.

Real world patient data

Ten years earlier healthcare big data was limited and retrospective observational studies with small sample size provided very limited insight necessary for drug development. Recent approval of “Cures Act of 2014” by USFDA allows a drug to be approved for multiple diseases, based on real-world evidence (RWE) generated from advanced analytics of RWD. Vero clinical research training institute not only provides real-world patient data to freshers to learn in detail about a specific disease from a large pool of various de-identified diseased patients but also provides technical guidance to design RWE studies. Potentials of finding position in RWE domain has significantly increased, unlike other institutes here we train students on RWE in our clinical statistics module there is no separate training course designed. Currently very few private research institutes in India provides patient level data essential for gaining knowledge on oncology, diabetes, cardiovascular disease etc.

Publication support

Medical writing and pharmacovigilance job profiles largely depends on prior writing experience. In every developed nation a student with master’s degree has proven writing experience through publication. Today in this fastest growing trillion-dollar healthcare industry it is advised to possess advanced writing skills. Modules such as evidence-based practice would allow students to individually perform literature search and design studies often desired in medical writing or regulatory affairs positions.

At Vero clinical research, a B.Sc. student is effectively trained on advanced healthcare research topics through our advanced long-term program to publish and compete with overall job applicants. Our faculties with expert knowledge on current trends of clinical research provides best guidance for selecting trending topic to conduct research and publication. We do not charge additional publication fees from our students.
