combining the training with my often hectic work schedules. I am glad to have taken the challenge upon myself despite the many difficulties I had to contend with. As a Scientist with no clinical research training experience, the Program broadened my knowledge base and scope into other areas, especially on the conduct of clinical research and how this knowledge can readily be used to transform lives. The course contents and modules are very informative, well designed and structured for online experience in a very fascinating way. I am most grateful to Dietmar Eglhofer and his team of excellent trainers for making this program what it is. I strongly recommend it to any aspiring Clinical Research Associate.
