In short

How do BCRI clinical research internships work?

BCRI offers clinical research internships of 3 to 6 months at research sites, CROs and hospitals, mostly in Bangalore. They come with every BCRI diploma and with the Advanced Certification in CRA, CRC & CDM. Most interns work as CRC interns or data trainees. The host decides any stipend and gives the certificate. For online students the internship is optional, if they can move to the internship city.

Programmes that include an internship

Short certification courses (CDM, pharmacovigilance, CRA, Clinical SAS, medical coding, regulatory affairs) do not include an internship. Looking for drug safety experience? See our pharmacovigilance internship.
