During these five days, participants gain an insight into Data Management, Monitoring, Statistics, Clinical Study Management, Quality Management and the work of the Clinical Investigation Unit. The offer is primarily aimed at people who have to complete an internship as part of their CAS course (e.g. CAS Clinical Research or CAS in Clinical Trial Management). The next work shadowing will take place from 27 to 31 March 2023, where two places are still available. If you are interested, please contact info@ctu.unibe.ch

There was no evidence for a survival difference between patients who received a shorter treatment (<10 days) vs a longer treatment (more than 10 days). The study used retrospective data from two tertiary care intensive care units in Switzerland (Inselspital Bern and CHUV Lausanne). CTU Bern was involved in the statistical analysis of the study. More information can be found here.

After working in fundamental research, she wanted to have a more direct impact on clinical research and had the opportunity to gain first experiences in the conduct of clinical research as a study coordinator at the University Hospital of Lausanne (CHUV). Now she will support clinical research as a monitor of our Monitoring team. Welcome Julia-Malaika!
