Profil is committed to the highest quality - including the training of our staff

Profil conducts world-leading clinical research and sets the highest standards with respect to quality of study design, results, and employees. Because of the special requirements that our employees have to fulfill, we make sure that best-in-class training is guaranteed. One example are our study nurses, who take on important tasks in everyday research. Among other things, they coordinate processes, collect and document study-relevant data.

But although the Study Nurses are indispensable, they do not have a protected job title. Moreover a uniform regulation for the training is missing. That is why we decided together with the Chamber of Commerce (IHK) to establish a certificate course. In this form and extent we are the only provider in Germany. Typical topics that are covered by the IHK include work organization and self-management. Our experts provide insights into pharmacology or the in-house quality management system.

This process of training our employees guarantees that Profil can recruit promising experts in their field and further educate them to help our sponsors find answers for diabetes. 

The Study Nurse Course

At present the third course for prospective Study Nurses is running. The course is certified by the "IHK mittlerer Rhein/Niederrhein". The course comprises ten modules, such as team work, subject contact management, medical English and quality assurance, as well as five internships. In total the course contains 120 hours. The contents are conveyed by external lecturers as well as by our own employees.

Through this course, we ensure an excellent quality standard in the conduct of our studies.
