This study developed an advanced clinical data management (CDM) training program for Japanese professionals. The program, covering risk-based monitoring and data standards, received high satisfaction ratings, indicating its effectiveness.
Area of Science:
- Clinical Research
- Data Management
- Professional Education
Background:
- Clinical data management (CDM) is crucial for clinical research, involving data collection, integration, and accessibility.
- Limited systematic training frameworks for CDM exist in Japanese academic research organizations.
- The effectiveness of existing Japanese-language CDM training requires further evaluation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an advanced instructional program for clinical data management professionals.
- To assess the effectiveness of the developed CDM training program in a Japanese context.
Main Methods:
