Fundamentals of Clinical Trials 2026

Course Description

As part of its modular Clinician Scientist Training Programme, GIMM CARE delivers tailored training around clinical and translational research*, aiming to capacitate the most critical resource within the bench to bedside continuum – people. 

This course is designed for healthcare professionals and researchers. 

Across two focused sessions, we will:

• Build a shared understanding of what clinical trials are, why they matter, and how they are designed and managed.
• Share Vall d'Hebron Institute of Research (VHIR) institutional expertise, best practices, and lessons learned.
• Explore how institutions like ours can strengthen their capacity to attract and lead clinical trials, and to improve the health and quality of life of our patients.

Note: No laptop needed

*Enrollment for this course is limited to 35 participants. Placements will be allocated in the order in which registrations are received (assuming a fair representation across depts and institutes).
