In short
What is a BCRI college collaboration?
A BCRI college collaboration is a training plan we agree with your college in an MoU. It is for pharmacy, life science and health students. You choose a 1-day seminar, a 2–4 week bootcamp, a 4–8 week hybrid track or a 6–12 week add-on. Students learn clinical research, data management, drug safety or medical coding. The college gets test results and batch reports. We have MoUs with RIPER, mLAC, Ramaiah College, JAIN and REVA University.
