Introduction
Clinical trials are an important source of knowledge in evidence-based practice in the health services, and the Norwegian authorities aim to increase the number of clinical trials. To achieve this goal, healthcare professionals must have competence in relevant methodology, organisational requirements and regulations that apply to this type of research.
This course is designed for healthcare professionals who want formal and broad competence in clinical trials in order to be able to initiate or lead the planning and conduct of such research projects.
Clinical trials in this context include drug trials, testing of medical technical equipment/other technology, or other types of interventions, such as physical activity and nutrition.
