The German Association for Study Nurses and Study Coordinators (BUVEBA) was founded in 2011 in order to define the training requirements and qualifications for Study Nurses nationwide.

You can find more information about the Association and its activities at BUVEBA.de.
Professional and well-trained study teams are key to ensuring that clinical trials are carried out in accordance with national and international guidelines. As the primary contact for patients, Investigators and Clinical Monitors, Study Nurses play a central role in clinical research. They ensure that everything runs smoothly at the site. They look after subjects, collect and record relevant study data and prepare for monitoring visits and audits. This course equips you for all of these tasks and keeps your knowledge and skills up-to-date.
