Hands-on training sessions were also conducted, allowing students to gain exposure to industry-standard software and practices used in managing clinical trial data.
Experts from the pharmaceutical and CRO (Contract Research Organization) sectors shared real-world experiences and career guidance, encouraging students to explore opportunities in clinical research, which continues to be a rapidly expanding field in India and abroad.
The workshop concluded with an interactive Q&A session, followed by the distribution of certificates of participation to all attendees. Feedback from participants reflected a high level of satisfaction and appreciation for the practical insights and interactive learning format.
This national-level workshop underscored Princeton College of Pharmacy’s commitment to offering industry-relevant training and exposure, preparing students for future roles in the clinical research and pharmaceutical sectors.
