Abstract

Clinical research is a large umbrella, and it mainly includes the implementation of clinical studies/trials. This field is crucial to assess the value of new developments in healthcare, be it new therapeutic interventions, medical devices, or systems of care. In order to protect human rights, the implementation of clinical trials is complex and extremely costly. In this context, medicines and medical devices are strongly regulated products before and after the market authorization. So during their training, pharmacists must develop skills in the area of regulatory affairs, design and methodology of clinical trials, and other clinical studies, as well as in the management of clinical projects to be prepared for the challenges of the clinical research and market access processes. With that purpose, knowledge and skills for clinical research should be developed in association with regulatory affairs.
