The main aim of the internship practicum was to describe, analyze and comprehend the study start up activities for a clinical trial at the practicum site. The aim was accomplished by administering survey questionnaire to the staff members, reading study start up Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and checklists. If an investigative site optimizes and develops the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for a clinical trial irrespective of type and length of the study then significant time and money can be saved. Saved resources can be used to make an investigative site more efficient in conducting and managing multiple trials.
