CLINICAL PROJECT MANAGER (CPM) BEGINNER

As CPM you'll be responsible for leading study teams in the management of budgets, timelines and study conduct. You'll oversee the quality and scientific integrity of the trial to ensure patient safety, data credibility and compliance within governing rules and regulations.

I think one of the most important features of the course was getting to learn from experts in the field. Even this anecdotal information taught me a lot about the best standards and how I need to conduct myself as an efficient CPM.
