In this era, there is a plethora of medical researches and inventions going on around the globe. There are developments and initiatives taken towards a healthy world but along with them are some risks that prevail in the healthcare industry. Risk management is defined as the process of identification, assessment and controlling the risks to avoid the occurrence of mishaps. Clinical research is held out with proper prediction, prevention, and management, yet there are various risks that can result in huge loss and delays. Importance of Risk Management in Clinical Trials Clinical trials are of great virtue and their successful execution is of great importance. However, each trial comes with challenges and risks and there is no perfect solution to avoid the risks that pop up during their execution. The challenges faced by the clinical research administrators, which are addressed within the risk management plan are: • Safety of the patients • Avoiding any potential medical error

The development of simulation technology has revolutionized a number of industries including, entertainment, automobiles, airlines and healthcare industry.  Talking further about the healthcare industry, the technology is being utilized to accomplish tasks such as teaching therapeutic procedures and enhancing decision making capability of health personnel. However, in recent years the technology has unlocked another area of its application, which corresponds to clinical trials. A trial is a vital part of the clinical research as its main motive is to assess the efficacy of a new medicine or medical device. Whether the new medicine can replace the current one or not, it depends upon the results put forward by the trial. Prior to simulations, conventional methods such as lectures were the only option to train the investigators and the site staff. However, time and time again their ineffectiveness was put forth by the low success rates of clinical trials. Indeed, the prime reason ide
