Specialized Training for Excellence in Oncology Clinical Trials
The Oncology Clinical Trials Training (OCTT) program is a specialized, competency-driven course designed to equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and practical expertise required to manage and oversee oncology clinical trials. The program focuses on the unique scientific, operational, and regulatory complexities of cancer research, enabling learners to develop proficiency in oncology trial conduct through a structured and hands-on training approach.
Structured as a six-month, distance-learning program, the course offers the flexibility of a self-paced format, enabling participants to complete the training within a typical 3-6 month timeframe. Learners are provided with two comprehensive self-learning modules, an assignment workbook, and hands-on training materials designed to ensuring a strong foundation in oncology-specific clinical research principles.
Practical training is reinforced through realistic case studies and a detailed dummy clinical trial monitoring kit, which includes a protocol synopsis, Case Report Forms (CRFs), source documents, and an Investigator Site File (ISF). Learners are required to critically review these materials and identify intentionally embedded deficiencies, closely simulating real-world oncology trial oversight scenarios.
Successful completion of all required assessments and fulfilment of the minimum qualification criteria, participants are awarded a professional certificate, recognizing their readiness to contribute effectively to oncology clinical trial operations and monitoring.
