Prepare for career opportunities in clinical research, drug safety, and pharmacovigilance with hands-on post-graduate training from AAPS.
The Clinical Research, Drug Safety and Pharmacovigilance Post-Graduate Diploma Program is designed to help students develop the specialized knowledge and skills required to support clinical studies across multiple phases of drug development.
Students learn how to prepare regulatory documents, write study protocols, monitor clinical trials, assure quality, manage and analyze clinical study data, and conduct drug safety and pharmacovigilance activities. Through hands-on training, students also develop technical and medical writing skills, including study protocols, reports, informed consent forms, and standard operating procedures, as well as applied pharmacovigilance skills such as recording adverse events and preparing expedited adverse drug reaction reports.

AAPS’ clinical research program focuses on the global regulatory framework of drug development and pharmacovigilance, including Good Clinical Practices, Good Pharmacovigilance Practices, international guidelines, standard operating procedures, and Canadian regulatory requirements.
Using practical and current real-world cases, the program provides students with the foundation and applied knowledge needed to support clinical development plans, help ensure clinical trial data is credible and accurate, and protect the rights, integrity, and confidentiality of trial participants.Using practical and current real-world cases, the program provides students with the foundation and applied knowledge needed to support clinical development plans, help ensure clinical trial data is credible and accurate, and protect the rights, integrity, and confidentiality of trial participants.
Clinical research and pharmacovigilance professionals play an important role in protecting study participants and the general population once drugs are marketed. Their work also helps support the drug development process and contributes to reducing the time between development and marketing approval.
As demand continues to grow and supply remains limited, highly qualified Clinical Research and Pharmacovigilance professionals are needed across a range of regulated industries.
Graduates of the Clinical Research, Drug Safety and Pharmacovigilance Post-Graduate Diploma Program can pursue career opportunities in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, cosmetics, natural health products, and allied industries.
