The scope of the SOCRA Certification Program is based on the principles of Good Clinical Practice, including the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, ICH GCP E6, and the Ethical Principles that guide clinical research (Belmont Report, Declaration of Helsinki and the Nuremberg Code). One certification covers human clinical research of pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, and behavioral research within the U.S. or internationally. The exam application and supporting documents must be submitted to SOCRA no later than Sept. 6, 2019. Informational certification exam sessions are scheduled for Monday, July 15, 2019, and Friday, Aug. 16, 2019, from 11 a.m. to noon in the McGlothlin Medical Education Center, room 11-101/102.
