The American University in Cairo recently signed a memorandum of understanding with the Clin Group International Foundation, which specializes in health solutions, to launch the “AUC Clinacademy” university diploma in clinical research, which is a new diploma developed by the university in cooperation with the organization to enhance research and clinical capabilities in Egypt.
The program provides theoretical and practical training aimed at developing education in the field of clinical research and supporting Egypt’s vision for achieving sustainable human development.
The memorandum was signed at a ceremony in the presence of a group of prominent government officials, business sector leaders, and academic experts, where they discussed the role of clinical research in improving health services and the importance of partnerships between the academic community and business institutions to achieve this goal.
In his speech during the opening ceremony, the President of the American University in Cairo, Dr. Ahmed Dalal, said: “This pioneering program – which extends over an entire year and was developed by the university in cooperation with the Clin Group Foundation – responds to the urgent needs in the local and regional health care sectors.
The program aims to qualify specialists to manage all stages of clinical trials, from identifying patients to ensuring compliance with regulatory and ethical standards with a focus on patient safety.
Dalal added that this diploma provides an example of synergistic cooperation between business and academic institutions, as it combines theoretical education with practical application, which qualifies graduates well to contribute effectively and innovate in health care and scientific progress.
The program offers a comprehensive curriculum aimed at equipping participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to coordinate clinical research. The diploma will cover various core topics, including foundations of clinical research, study design, biostatistics, bioethics, finance, medical writing, and technical procedures for conducting controlled clinical trials in accordance with international standards.
The field of clinical research coordination involves many stakeholders, including the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Higher Education, pharmaceutical companies, and contract research institutions.
Due to the recent approval of the Clinical Trials Law in Egypt, the demand for trained specialists to coordinate and manage these trials has increased.
Dr. Mohamed Salama, Professor of Global Health and Human Environment at the Institute of Global Health and Human Environment at the American University in Cairo, explained that the program will target doctors and graduates of health specialties such as pharmacy, and those interested in pursuing career paths in the field of clinical research.
Salama added: “The University’s Engineering and Scientific Services Department will provide the diploma, design the scientific content, and provide lectures through qualified faculty members from the university or external experts, while the Clean Group Foundation will provide practical experience and field training to apply the academic content through actual projects.” In addition to proposing qualified faculty members for the program.
