Clinical trials internship program

Expanding Victoria’s clinical trial activity requires an experienced workforce with good foundations.

Clinical Trial Assistants and Study Coordinators are key positions in an efficient clinical trial unit.

The Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre’s (VCCC) successful SKILLED internship program will be delivered again in 2020.

Victorian clinical trial units are invited to submit an expression of interest to host an intern. The VCCC works with host sites to support the interns, provide orientation and training, as well as complete standardised requirements.
