Fellowship (FICR) is by application only and must be considered and granted by 'The Board'.
All fellowship applicants must have held Professional (MICR) membership for at least one year and comply with an established criteria.
In order for your application to be processed and passed to our Board for approval we need you to supply evidence of the following:
- Qualifications - BSc in Life Sciences (or equivalent); clinical research academic qualification (MSc, PgDip etc); nursing qualification; cognate degree or have passed the ICR exam
- At least 10 years in clinical research (5 of which need to be at a senior level)
- Minimum of 2 years CPD (Continuing Professional Development). Once Fellowship is granted you must continue to provide evidence on an annual basis.
It is important that you present evidence of previous learning activities, knowledge acquired, and how you have put that information into practice. Get information on our CPD scheme and forms by clicking here.
If you are using a different system of documentation for CPD i.e. training records, learning log, personal development plan, you may submit your evidence in that format instead, but only if it shows learning activities, knowledge acquired, and (most importantly) how this information has been put into practice.
You may also submit any other relevant documents i.e. certificates, publication lists.
When all documentation has been provided your application will be submitted at the next Board meeting
Honorary Fellowship (HonFICR)
