To continuously develop professional CRCs who can handle oncology clinical trials, we regularly hold in-house training sessions with invited lecturers who are experts in the field of oncology, such as oncologists. In addition, we are actively participating in domestic and international academic societies,
and working on training projects in collaboration with medical institutions specializing in oncology, in order to develop CRC with a wealth of expertise in the field of oncology.
