In 2008, a group of professionals came together to create a platform that could deliver high quality training programs and bring them within reach of people across the world, no matter how remote they were. After months of exchange of ideas and consultation with the industry stakeholders, IRSKCI was established in 2009. The school started its operations in Ghana with a few online clinical research programs, but the vision was much larger. With early success and positive feedback, the school grew rapidly and established more centers across Africa, while diversifying into more areas of need. Over time, the school has gained very high reputation and forged many meaningful collaborations. Eventually, the school was also established in south Africa which now serves as its primary location. The school continues to bring forth new programs and is establishing presence in more regions across the world.
