Introduction to Clinical Data Management
Course Description
Clinical Data Management (CDM) is a critical phase in clinical research, which leads to the generation of high-quality, reliable and statistically sound data from clinical trials. Various procedures in CDM including Case Report Form (CRF) designing, database designing, data-entry and its validation, discrepancy management, medical coding, reconciliation of databases, query generation and database locking procedures are well explained in this module. This course will help the life science/health science graduates to learn about how the massive amount of clinical data is well managed and reported technically and scientifically. This understanding of various CDM processes will definitely help the learners to work with various CDM softwares offered by different companies.
