Pointwest Launches Clinical Research Study

One of the branches in healthcare industry is the Clinical Research which determines the safety and effectiveness of medications, devices, diagnostic products and treatment regimens intended for human use. This may be used for prevention, treatment, diagnosis or for relieving symptoms of a disease. In clinical research, evidence is collected to establish a treatment.

As Pointwest continues to provide excellent services as IT-BPM company in the healthcare industry, Clinical Research team was formed with the collaborative effort of Clinical Specialists (RPhs) and Business Analyst (BA) which aim is to provide trainings to employees in preparation of prospective Clinical Research Organization (CRO) client under the Health Care market circle.

DAY 1: Module 1 - Clinical Refresher Course
