The certificate program in Clinical Trials Management provides a broad overview of key competencies necessary for a successful understanding and conduct of the new product development process in today’s environment. The program covers the logistics of site management, including start up, maintenance, and close out, with the corresponding collection and management of data. The program emphasizes the regulatory, privacy, and compliance issues critical to the successful approval of a new product for launch. The issues that the current environment poses for new product development, both in the U.S. and globally, are discussed and the students, through team simulations and interactions with experts in the field, are challenged to find ways to minimize their impact on new product delivery. The various roles integral to the development process are presented with focus on how they interrelate in a team model. The role of the trial subject/patient is described, with emphasis on safety and benefits potentially achieved in investigative trial participation.

This certificate is appropriate for those professionals who have a strong science and/or health-care related background, including, but not limited to, nurses, pharmacists, medical technologists, and physicians. Most employment opportunities in the industry require a minimum background of a bachelor’s degree. Two years of college level education are required for admission into the certificate program.
