SKILLED Clinical Trial Internships
Clinical trials form a critical bridge between research and practice, progressing treatments and care standards into better outcomes for patients. Expanding Victoria’s clinical trial activity calls for a highly trained workforce, capable of meeting the increasing demand.
The VCCC Alliance has established internships, in partnership with the Parkville Cancer Clinical Trials Unit (PCCTU), which provide both theoretical and hands-on learning for positions of high demand, increasing employability and providing opportunities within the sector.
