Clinical Training

A unique feature of the M.Sc. Clinical Research programme at Malla Reddy University is the integrated clinical training offered at the University's own Malla Reddy Clinical Research Unit (CRU). This continuous, hands-on training provides students with early and sustained exposure to the clinical research environment, allowing them to apply classroom concepts to real-world research settings.


Through the CRU, students actively participate in various aspects of clinical research, including clinical trial coordination, informed consent procedures, patient screening and recruitment, data collection, source document verification, pharmacovigilance activities, regulatory documentation, and Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP) compliance. The programme also incorporates case discussions, seminars, protocol reviews, and interactions with clinicians and research professionals to strengthen analytical, communication, and professional skills.
