Study Nurse Training

This 5-day intensive program teaches the basic principles of clinical research, and gives a thorough insight into how clinical trials are conducted in hospitals and doctors’ practices. It focuses particularly on the recent developments in the field of clinical research and the latest legal and regulatory guidelines (ICH-GCP/AMG).

The practical nature of the course means that you will be familiar with all standard study documentation, and be able to perform all the tasks required of you in your daily work as a Study Nurse.

On completion of the seminar you will receive a certificate that is recognized within the clinical research industry.

The German Association for Study Nurses and Study Coordinators (BUVEBA) was founded in 2011 in order to define the training requirements and qualifications for Study Nurses nationwide. Every year the Association hosts the Federal Congress for Study Nurses to link its members and to discuss current topics within the profession. You can find more information about the Association and its activities at BUVEBA.de.

The Study Nurse course is offered in two formats: Weekday course: Monday to Friday Weekend course: Friday/Saturday/Sunday and two weeks later Saturday/Sunday. The length (5 days in total) and content of both courses is identical.
