Course Description

The Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS) in Pharmaceutical Medicines program provides specialist knowledge in the field of drug development at an advanced level. The syllabus of the course program covers all aspects of pharmaceutical medicine and drug development as defined by the International Federation of Associations of Pharmaceutical Physicians (IFAPP, www.ifapp.org).

This includes the discovery and development of new medicines, clinical trial methodology, good clinical practice and ethics, pharmacovigilance and epidemiology, biostatistics, regulatory affairs, health economics, project management, marketing and new therapeutic approaches.

After having successfully completed the DAS program with 30 ECTS, training can be complemented with further learning elements to achieve a Master of Advanced Studies in Medicines Development.

The course program is divided into six modules consisting of four days each over a period of two years. Learning methods comprise online preparation, lectures and group work on case studies. The course language is English.

The ECPM Advanced Studies degrees are targeted at representatives from the pharmaceutical industry, service industry, academic and government decision- and policy-makers who already have a good understanding of the basics of drug development and will benefit from a more in-depth, comprehensive and systematic immersion into modern medical product and device development, regulation and market introduction.

Course Description

Overview Pharmaceutical Medicine is the medical scientific discipline concerned with the discovery, development, evaluation, registration, monitoring and medical aspects of the marketing of medicines for the benefit of patients and the health of the community. In this rapidly expanding field of medicine there is a need for high quality education programmes that are compliant with the PharmaTrain initiative of the European Commission, but also with the Bologna Process. The programmes at King’s are the first in the UK that meet both of these requirements. This, plus the opportunity to study at a world class university makes King’s the ideal place at which to study for one of these MSc subjects. Clinical Pharmacology is the study of how drugs influence human physiology and the way the body handles drugs. It is a vital part of the early clinical development of new medicines. It requires an understanding of preclinical science, ethical and legal requirements for clinical research programmes and how to design and interpret individual clinical trials. A well designed clinical pharmacology programme informs the final regulatory of a new medicine. Generating skilled clinical pharmacologists is therefore vital to ensure that new medicines are efficiently developed. Translational Medicine is an emerging and highly topical discipline that involves the translation of science from the bench to the bedside, and much of this is focussed on novel drug therapies. The bank of in vitro, pre-clinical and human testing required to do this often leaves scientists bemused, but experts in translational medicine can plot a pathway to enable the very best therapies to be tested in human subjects. The MSc programmes will not only equip the students with a broad knowledge and understanding of the whole of the drug development process and the medical aspects of the marketing of pharmaceutical products but also give them the opportunity to undertake a research project that will enable them to apply these skills and should lead to one or more publications. Key benefits - King's is ranked 4th in the world for Pharmacy & Pharmacology (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2016) - Programmes align with the PharmaTrain and the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine curricula. - Flexible programmes with a part-time option that allow you to fit the modules in with your work schedule. - Teaching given by leading experts from the academic staff of King’s College London, from the biopharmaceutical sector and the regulatory authorities. Course detail Description Gain the skills to evaluate, plan and execute the studies involved in taking a new medicine from the exploratory clinical development phase through to the point of applying for marketing approval, including regulatory processes. One of three modular programmes in Pharmaceutical Medicine designed for working physicians, clinical scientists and allied health professionals. Course purpose This programme is for those working in or seeking to work in the field of clinical drug development. It covers all aspects of the clinical development process through from the earliest studies to post marketing activities. It will enhance knowledge and skills in all aspects of clinical research, drug regulation and drug safety.

Course Description

The European Center of Pharmaceutical Medicine (ECPM) designs and organizes the Master of Advanced Studies in Medicines Development program, together with partnering universities throughout Europe and other health care partner organizations. The program emphasizes integrated drug development, which is science-based, innovative, efficient and of high quality ndash leading to better and safer medical products for patients. It is targeted at representatives from the pharmaceutical industry, service industry, academic and government decision- and policymakers who already have a good understanding of the basics of drug development and will benefit from a more in-depth, comprehensive and systematic immersion into modern medical product and device development, regulation and market introduction.The program is structured in modules, which allows it to be completed next to working full- or part-time. Students can enroll in both the ECPM course and the master program.In total, the Master of Advanced Studies requires a minimum of 60 ECTS.30 ECTS (6 modules, triple exam) will be accredited by successfully completing the two-year ECPM Diploma Course - a well-established postgraduate education and training program - and acquiring the Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS).20 ECTS will be accredited for completing the master modules selected from the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) short courses list. These can be chosen by preference either from the ECPM CPD short course program, from other course providers or partner universities which offer training relevant to drug development sciences and the IMI PharmaTrain syllabus.The remaining 10 ECTS will be accredited for writing and submitting a master thesis.nbsp

Course Description

In the health sector the realization of globalization of markets is already well advanced. Great effort is being made to harmonize research guidelines, require­ments for registration data and health politics. Mega mergers of pharmaceutical companies are simultaneously the result and accelerator of this development. Associated with these processes we recognize an enormous change within the institutions of the health care system and the pharmaceutical industry. In order to meet the challenges of this process in Europe it is necessary to build up an innovative education concept for peo­ple able to fulfill the demands of the future. Perceiving this situation the curriculum for the postgraduate study course Pharmaceutical Medicine was developed and after approval implemented. The objective of this study course is to focus on day-to-day practice, to promote interdisciplinary knowledge and to enable the participants to deal with the complex international tasks facing health care institutions and the pharmaceutical industry. The genaral objectives of this course are: - To give the participant an integrated overview of all relevant topics within the health institutions and the pharmaceutical industry. - To educate physicians and scientists in all major aspects of drug research and development, with emphasis on clinical development. - To stimulate an insight into the pitfalls and possibilities of research and development with a new chemical entity. - To present the health economic environment and its implications for drug development. to create an educational platform that enables the participant to fulfil and understand a variety of roles within the health institutions and the pharmaceutical industry. - To make the participant aware of various aspects of social competence as well as of the scientific, ethical and social role of the clinical scientist in professional teams within the health institutions and the pharmaceutical industry. - To train the participant in moderation and leadership of groups. - To increase the communicative skills of the candidate.
