Outsourcing Bioskills Workshops To Contract Research Organizations

October 17, 2016 By MassDevice

toxikon-10-17-06-1x1Medical device companies frequently need to conduct bioskills training events either to educate their sales force on new devices/technology, to educate new hires to the sales force, or to provide hands-on experience to the surgeons who may be using their devices.  This is especially true for companies manufacturing products used in interventional cardiovascular procedures and endoscopic procedures.

Frequently, the medical device companies either lack the internal facilities to hold these events, or if they do have them, they are at the “hub” or main facility and there is a need to host an event in another region of the country.  Enter the CRO.  Holding a bioskills training event at a CRO utilizes facilities already in place, with personnel trained in handling multiple laboratory species, and with available surgical suite space.  The medical device company and CRO work together to hold the event, with the company supplying the specialized equipment and the CRO providing the space, animals, and trained personnel.  The CRO can provide meeting room space as well as the surgical suite and personnel.

So when planning your next training event, consider reaching out to your local CRO to explore how they can assist you in having a successful bioskills lab.
