Course Description
Feeling stressed from managing clinical trials?  Do you want to take control and be in charge?  Then this course is for you. This two-day seminar, worth 12 contact hours, provides an overview of the different project management approaches used by Sponsors and Contract Research Organizations, and helps you decide how to apply them in your situation. Your course developer and trainer has over 20 years of experience in the pharmaceutical and contract research industries, so the course is specifically designed for clinical research project management, with examples and exercises developed using pharmaceutical research scenarios. A key component to this course is that you will learn how to take real control of your clinical trials, to actually manage and direct them, rather than simply tracking what is happening.
