Seminar Description
Among the nation’s postsecondary education institutions, community colleges serve an important role in increasing the numbers of STEM degree recipients and skilled workers with many students ending up in medical-related paths. However, students at these institutes especially mostly minorities and underrepresented ethnically or racial groups do not receive enough information about the importance of diversity in the clinical trial research as a patient or at the workplace. Therefore, miss the opportunities to be engaged in such an interesting and important job market. In this seminar, we explain about the importance of diversity in clinical research trials and suggest that holding annual scientific meetings in clinical research in the presence of representatives of medical institutes, pharmaceutical companies or government agencies and encouraging their partnership to develop a new certificates proficiency or other programs will be significant in this notion that, it provides a new direction for Community College of Philadelphia (CCP) students and alumni to be informed and stay updated citizens about a different area of clinical research in their personal and professional life.
