The Indian Council of Medical Research’s National Institute of Traditional Medicine (ICMR-NITM) is organising a two-day national training programme on “Designing and Conducting Clinical Trials” in Belagavi starting Thursday.
“This training programme, which will conclude on Friday, has been planned for clinical researchers across the country. In view of aspirations of our country to become a clinical research hub, regular training and updates in the conduct of clinical trials, including on integrative health research and ethical conduct, are necessary. This programme is planned to meet this need,” ICMR-NITM director Subarna Roy told journalists in Belagavi on Wednesday.
“With the focus slowly shifting towards integrative health research that includes components from modern medicine as well as AYUSH systems for holistic health and wellbeing, ICMR-NITM has incorporated aspects of conducting clinical trials in these fields also in the proposed workshop,” he said.
