ESF Syllabus for Clinical Investigator Training - a recent initiative from European Science Foundation, ESF
http://www.esf.org/esf_pressarea_page.php?language=0&section=6&newsrelease=66
ESF wishes to introduce this Syllabus to help create a culture of scientifically knowledgeable physicians: physicians who, in view of the EU Clinical Trial Directive, would be able to critically evaluate study proposals, to conduct studies according to Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and to conclude and report valid data as rapid and safe as possible. The way to achieve this is through education and training, and ESF is now setting the scientific aim for this.
