CLINICAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT DIPLOMA

Managing and leading a clinical development project is complex and it requires that you have a specialized understanding of project management in a clinical research setting. Successful project management can help reduce delays, errors and unnecessary work flows and in the end save resources for everyone involved in the project. 

The Clinical Project Management Programme have been developed as a collaboration between IMPLEMENT Learning Institute and a team of internationally renowned clinical development experts from the pharmaceutical industry, clinical research organizations and the academia to ensure a relevant and practice oriented training programme for professionals involved in clinical trials.

The programme consists of two modules that cover key stages of a clinical development project.

Module 1: Manage your Project

In this module you will learn about the methods for successful management of a clinical development project and tools for planning and follow-up that maximize the efficiency and success of your project.

Module 2: Lead your Project Team

In this module you will learn how you make good use of the project team’s knowledge, experiences and opinions in a beneficial process that is both well thought out and well-managed.
To obtain a Diploma in Clinical Project Management you must pass the exams of Module 1 and Module 2.
