Clinical Trials in Action

Clinical Trials in Action

We invite course participants to experience DCR activities at the Clinical Trial Unit (CTU), Clinical Investigator Unit (CIU), and with the Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) Program.

For 1 week, course participants 

• observe consultations for various clinical trials, including obtaining informed consent and administration of trial procedures and therapies 
• interact with research teams; patients and their families; and PPI contributors to understand why clinical research is important
• understand the different roles of people involved in clinical research
• demonstrate value-based knowledge of PPI when conducting clinical trials
• explain clinical research priorities in Switzerland related to professionalization
• describe how CTUs and CIUs contribute to clinical research in Switzerland
• develop different clinical research and clinical trial design elements with support from DCR Bern

Please note that the schedule depends on team availability, ongoing projects, and confidentiality requirements, so some activities may not be open to observation.

Designed for clinicians seeking experiential knowledge about clinical trials.

English and German

Year-round with rolling enrollment; week chosen based on planned activities and availability.
