Proposed translations (English)

4 -1 participation in programs of initiation (training) at clinical skills centre
3 -1 initiation in clinical center

Discussion

Horst Huber (X) Sep 15, 2011:
Logic and language would suggest it is the center, and its acivities that are "initiated", opened up, or got under way. It does not seem to refer to intiating persons.

Peer comment(s):
agree Steffen Walter : ... although I'd phrase this differently because it's a list of activities presented in a CV: "... initiated (clinical) trial centre, trained investigators and trial staff, ...".

participation in programs of initiation (training) at clinical skills centre

Initiierung = Vorgang des Einführens in eine Gruppe, Amt oder anderen persönlichen Seinszustand

Zentrum is translated as clinical skills centre (from: Medical Education for the Future; Springer, Volume I, 2011). It regularly pops up in numerous texts about medical training.
Example sentence:

As done in other countries, several Brazilian medical schools have implemented programs of initiation to scientific research in the form of academic disciplines. (link 1)

Peer comment(s):
disagree Steffen Walter : Looking more closely at the context provided by the asker, this is not what is meant: we are talking about a "Studienzentrum" (clinical trial centre/center) here.

initiation in clinical center

Just my guess, sorry.
Peer comment(s):
disagree Steffen Walter : Wrong guess, I think. Correct parsing of the German: "Initiierung des/eines Zentrums" or "Initiierung von Zentren".
