Subject: Career in Clinical Research.
Date: 15-Oct-2007
Question: Hello,
I am a dentist by profession. I would like to pursue my career in the Clinical Research field. I reside in Bangalore, Karnataka.
Would you please guide me, should I opt for certified courses or PG courses? If so, which one to opt. As I am working I have intentions of attending only weekend classes. Could you please guide me with the universities dealing with such courses.
Thank you and regards
Dr. Indumathi
