Clinical Research Pathways Latin America Regional Workshop, Academy of Medical Sciences, United Kingdom
As part of the Global Clinical Research Pathways Project, the Academy of Medical Sciences, one of the National Academies of the United Kingdom, in collaboration with the National Academy of Medicine of Brazil and the National Academy of Sciences of Brazil, has developed the Workshop: Clinical Research Pathways Latin America. This workshop will establish a global working group focused on clinical research pathways in various regions across the Global South. This session is based in Latin America and will unite researchers from The Global Health Network Latin America and the Caribbean and other practice communities, such as AI4GH, with representation of Dr. Bryain Maradiaga, including participants from Honduras, Colombia, and Peru.
The workshop, scheduled for December 10 and 11, 2024, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, will emphasize enhancing institutional capacity to support and empower clinical research professionals. It will also facilitate knowledge sharing on solutions among participants from Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
The workshop will spotlight four main working groups: Infrastructure, Training Opportunities, Funding for Research Career Development, and Research Governance. It aims to gather data on the current landscape of clinical researchers' academic careers, identify challenges, formulate recommendations, and create proposals. This initiative is poised to advance the leadership in research that LAC promotes, with active involvement from health professionals at the School Hospital and partner institutions.
