IDDCR partners
with TUSP to bring QA/RA graduate program to
students in Hyderabad
Hyderabad|India|July'2011:
International Drug Discovery
and Clinical Research (IDDCR) and the prestigious
Temple University’s School of Pharmacy (TUSP) have
joined hands in the delivery of global certificate
programs to India. Starting in late August, IDDCR
will bring Temple University’s globally recognized
Quality Assurance/Regulatory Affairs (QA/RA)
graduate program to students in Hyderabad,
offering one-year Post Graduate Diploma Programs
that cover key concepts in the pharmaceutical
industry.
IDDCR intends to educate 80 - 100 select students
in Clinical Trial Management and Global
Pharmacovigilance each year. The Certificate
programs will help ease the demand for
high-quality Clinical Trial and Pharmacovigilance
professionals from Big Pharma, Start up, Generic
Drug, Biotechnology, and Clinical Research
organisations in India. The certificates consist
of five concentrated courses and offer students
the option of pursuing the Master’s degree of
Science at TUSP, USA.
Founded in 1884 in Philadelphia, PA, Temple
University is the sixth largest provider of
professional education in the U.S. and attracts
more than 38,000 students to its 300 undergraduate
and graduate programs each year. Established in
1968, its QA/RA graduate program is the oldest and
most comprehensive of its type in the world. IDDCR
provides practical training and resources for
global biotech and pharmaceutical companies.
Vamsi Maddipatla, CEO of IDDCR announced: “We are
excited to partner with Temple University in
bringing their globally acknowledged certificate
program in India, as our pharmaceutical industry
in currently grappling with a talent crunch.
Students in our Institute will be able to
interface with Temple’s experienced faculty in
real time. Career opportunities also will be
created for qualified graduates with local,
national, and international biotech companies.”
Vamsi continued, “Various centers and institutions
currently offer certification, but this initiative
by IDDCR-Temple creates the only fully
industry-focused certificate program in Clinical
Trials and Pharmacovigilance in India.”
