GOOD CLINICAL PRACTICE TRAINING

27 November 2014

On 25 and 26 November we had a Good Clinical Practice (GCP) training. It actually was a refresher training because the staff of KCRI has had many trainings before. With the upcoming studies, it was important to refresh our knowledge on GCP and to have updated GCP certificates.
