Project Management for Clinical Research Professionals
This is an intensive two-day course which provides detailed and practical guidance on the different project management skills used by study sponsors and Contract Research Organizations (CROs), so helps you decide how to apply these skills in your situation. The course is specifically designed for clinical research project management, with examples and exercises developed using pharmaceutical research scenarios. A key component of this course is that you will learn how to take control of your clinical trials, to manage and direct them, rather than simply tracking what is happening.
