Presentation
The CLIC Programme is aimed at the certification of clinical investigators. Level 1 has been approved and has been in operation since 2015. The implementation of level 2 starts in 2018. The Programme strictly follows the European syllabus, published in March 2013. The syllabus was prepared by PharmaTrain - which is a European initiative for the qualification and standardisation of pharmaceutical medicine education - and ECRIN (European Clinical Research Infrastructures Network) - which is a European network of infrastructures dedicated to clinical research, represented in Portugal by PtCRIN. The Programme operates in an e-learning format. In addition to documents that can be printed or viewed on the computer, participants find on the platform lectures recorded on video, which can be accessed at any time, thus making it compatible with the personal and professional life of health professionals. Level 2 certification is intended for the certification of Principal Investigators of clinical trials.
