Challenging content
I thoroughly enjoyed this course! The content, consisting of great videos, articles, and assignments, both challenged and matched my knowledge of clinical development.

Apply regulatory guidelines
Through the course I learned how to find and apply regulatory guidelines to evaluate nonclinical, clinical and quality drug data, which will help in my role as hospital pharmacist/clinical pharmacist in the review committee and as clinical pharmacological researcher.
