This week, I attended a workshop on Good Clinical Practice and Ethics in Research conducted by UP-NIH in cooperation with DOH and FERCAP, and funded by WHO. By attending this workshop, I got GCP certified, whatever that means!
Anyway, for 4 days, I sat patiently and listened intently as we were spoonfed by our distinguished lecturers, all of them acknowledged experts in their own fields. A lot of things were going around in my mind (Eg. that we were doing many things correctly, but we were also doing many things incorrectly; we knew many things, but we also did not know many things; etc).
The very good thing that happened was that my questions on the regulatory requirements of BFAD for our Phase I Clinical Trials Facility (which I had been tasked to set up) at St. Luke's were all clarified! As if the workshop was customized for me :-) How lucky can I get!
Hi Filipinas, I have you arriving on United Airlines # 378 to George Bush
Airport on Monday Nov. 19 at 4:26 PM. Pauline will make you hotel
reservations for 2 nights and the hotels have vans that circulate the terminals
to pick you up and take you to the hotel. I will plan to go to dinner with
you that night if you are not too tired. Please see my cell phone number
below to contact me once you get to US.
On Tuesday we have an
appointment at 9:30 AM at Methodist Hospital phase I unit. Dr. Tracy
Goekin will accompany us as he used to work there. We will go to lunch at
the Texas Medical Center and then we have an appointment at 2:00 PM to visit
West Houston Clinical Research Services. We will have some time to talk
and meet some of our people later that
day.
The schedule looks perfect- I can finish my official business all
in one day!
Just checked Texas temperature on the internet-9-21C - not bad!
Well, as they say in Texas, Hola!
