what is the scope of clinical research after bds? i want to know whether there is direct entry or i have to take pg in clinical research?

Your BDS qualification is sufficient to enter clinical research field. However to seek entry in CR field you need to obtain some training/certification in clinical research. This would not only increase the visibility of your CV but also help you to answer the questions during the interviews. There is no need to go for Masters, you can simply undertake a short term training and start applying for Clinical Research Associate/Clinical Research Coordinator positions.

Clinical research is all set to become the next big thing in India. A large population with a substantial workforce and cost benefits influence multinationals to set up research facilities here. Besides due to the prevalence of a large variety of diseases, including widespread cases of cancer and diabetes India is viewed the world over as the ideal location for clinical research trials for the pharmaceutical industry. As the number of clinical projects expands and the requirement per project increases, large number of qualified personnel will be needed to handle the industry needs. There would be highest remuneration packages owing to the shortage of skilled professionals. Freshers can expect a pay packet of around three lakhs or more per annum. If you have a master's degree backing your qualifications, then the amount is almost double. Since you have done BDS you can work as a: Principal Investigator Co-investigator Medical Advisor Drug Developer Regulatory Affairs Manager or Clinical Research Physician For admissions, registration, course details, fees, duration etc, please visit <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="www.cra-training.com" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>www.cra-training.com</a> If you like the answer, give thumbs up.
