Diploma & Certificate in Human Pharmacology
"Both the Academy of Medical Sciences and the ABPI have urged investment in human pharmacology and the Expert Scientific Group emphasised the need for validated higher qualifications. The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine is, therefore, to be congratulated for introducing objective quality standards of training with its new Diploma and Certificate in Human Pharmacology."
Professor Sir Gordon Duff, Chairman on the Commission on Human Medicines
Developed by the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine (FPM), the Diploma and Certificate in Human Pharmacology (DHP and CHP) have been structured specifically to fit the needs of all with an interest in exploratory drug development.
These integrated training programmes address the requirements of Principal Investigators (PIs) and all scientists involved in Phase I studies, whether based in CROs, pharmaceutical companies, universities or regulatory authorities.FPM Programme Director - Dr John Posner
