This symposium introduces learning tools and concepts employed to develop the capabilities needed among a global clinical staff through different drug development stages. Special emphasis is placed on training requirements and strategies to advance drug development in Japan and the BRICT countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, Turkey). Presenters offer case studies, lessons learned experiences and a job aid to help participants design and develop their own training programs for clinical staff and regulatory scientists.

Learning Objectives:
Define components and information sources to design a blended learning program focusing on drug development in the BRICT countries
Identify the key competencies clinical research staff and regulatory scientists need to excel in drug development
Discuss case studies as they relate to one's own experience.
