Clinical pharmacologist from the eyes of a clinical pharmacologist: a questionnaire-based survey.

All the CPs opined that training during the postgraduation course was not sufficient to be qualified as CP. There was no consensus among the CPs on the benefit of existing certification courses in clinical research. However, they felt that the centres offering these courses should be accredited, and the curriculum should be uniform. Respondents opined that CPs' patient management role could be improved by collaborating with clinicians and organizing workshops and conferences.
