I found the Diploma in Clinical Research to be an engaging and application-oriented course, which gave us as learners, a firm grasp of the clinical trials industry, from the concept of a scientific approach, to practical applications using relevant case studies. We explored regulatory frameworks such as Good Clinical Practice, which covers the international standard for ethical and scientific quality of clinical trials, to understanding the significance of managing documentation to confirm the validity of a clinical trial as well the integrity of its data. We also learnt the importance of monitoring progress through site visits, ensuring patient safety, and how a CRA would collaborate with other key personnel within the team to facilitate a successful clinical trial through all of its phases.

It was very interesting to learn how the product life cycle of a drug can influence the clinical trial industry. All in all, the course content was comprehensive and gave us realistic insight into the interesting and critical role of a Clinical Research Associate (CRA).

Beyond the theoretical content, this course will be beneficial to those who are looking to work in the clinical trials industry. Prior to this course, I was unsure of how to go about professionally positioning myself for job prospects, and didn’t know where to start despite my interest in working in this field. This course has since equipped me with the knowledge and confidence that I have what it takes to excel in this industry.

Dr Dhamo is a highly experienced and knowledgeable lecturer. His up to date insights into the clinical research sector alone are worth attending the class for, in my opinion. Not only does he present material in a way that keeps us as students engaged, he also gives constructive input and guidance in addressing our questions over academic content as well any that we might have regarding what the day to day work of a CRA would entail. I have genuinely enjoyed my time undertaking the Diploma in Clinical Research as I found the learning environment to be positive, collaborative and enriching, alongside Dr Dhamo and likeminded learners.

University of Dundee offers distant learning for us nurses in Singapore to take up this degree in nursing and health on a part-time basis so I find it very useful because I am a full-time nurse who come office hours like all the way in the west and I don’t think I can cope with weekend classes or evening classes so with this a distant learning program I find it very very suitable I can juggle work family and study at the same time so it’s brilliant.

Hello everyone I’m Farradilah, I am a nurse since 2005 and I started working in an acute hospital and then followed by GP clinic aesthetics, and assisting in daily surgery procedures, currently I’m working as an occupational nurse in a pharmaceutical company.

I think the lecturers of UOD are very helpful so they are not only there for us during contact time, during workshops but they are there for us anytime so we reach them directly through whatsapp or email, so if we have any questions related or assignment they will provide feedback for us in that way we know which area to improve so we can work better.

Being a nurse is very fruitful and rewarding career so I decided to take up degree in nursing and health because it helps me to widen my knowledge and I believe nursing is a lifelong career and I have a passion in teaching so right now I have been training new nurses who are actually embarking their journey as occupational health nurse so it’s kind of good to stay current and keep myself updated on new things especially in nursing so it helps me with my job.

In my class I’ve made new friends nurses from various hospitals, so exchanged numbers and we have a class group chat that we can reach out to each other, so sometimes I’ll just whatsapp them, like hey is the dateline again, or like hey, are you able to assess this reading materials or something like that, so its good getting to know more people from other areas and we exchange ideas and suggestions so yep its very good to be knowing a lot of people yeah.

UOD is in partnership with CSM academy and the staff in CSM Academy they are very helpful so they support us in terms of administration issues and also other questions related to student support particularly school fees, it is very very affordable because we are able to pay on a monthly basis and the instalment plan is very easy on us because most of us are not sponsored by our organization so I think that is one good point about taking our degree with CSM academy yeah.

The main reason why I join University of Dundee, CSM Academy is through a friend who is my colleague at work. When I found out that she tell me about CSM Academy is actually tally with my preference of what is University of Dundee is all about. The University lies with my expectation whereby it’s also more flexible where can study part time & work at the same time. It gives me the opportunity to end my study and reach my goal before 30. That’s one of the main reason why I join University of Dundee.

There were a lot of interaction. I was able to do a lot of practical and Oral lessons with my fellow course mates It was easy for the lecture, Ms loke to present and get in touch with us quiet easily as well. Most importantly, I must say that I’m very happy with the conversion from classroom base, learning to 100%, e learning based training, and turn out to be very successful. And coupled with the fact that the entire CSM staff has been very helpful and cooperative in ensuring that this elearning base training is up to the mark I must say kudos to all. Thank you.

CSM Academy teaches us step by step of what Clinical Research work is all about. The course has imparted me with knowledge of what Good Clinical Practise (GCP) is and also the importance of keeping proper documentation as well as different phrases in clinical research. Having being taught by Dr S. Dhamodaran in WSQ Diploma in Clinical Research has ignited my passion for studies.
