Core Tip

Core Tip: There is a lack of knowledge about the good clinical practices (GCP) in the researchers of medical colleges. In order to improve the quality of research, as well as, make research a better experience for the participants of research, we must work on improving awareness of the GCP among researchers. This can be done by organising training sessions or workshops which throw light on the principles of GCP.
