GCP On-Line Course
The CINP educational committee is pleased to offer CINP members free online training in Good Clinical Practice (GCP). This has been facilitated through a partnership with Quintiles Inc. Please help us to publicize this opportunity to colleagues. The value of this course alone is higher than CINP membership dues. Please let non-CINP colleagues know about this online offering, and encourage them to apply for membership. This GCP course adds to the free content on the educational portal on the CINP web site, which already includes access to the NEI/Stahl Psychopharmacology education content.
