SUMMARY


This three-day course introduces you to the state of affairs in implementing digital solutions in clinical trials. It is invaluable to anyone involved with clinical research and trials.


Professionals involved in clinical trials face numerous opportunities in these changing times. But to contribute and create value, it is necessary to understand how you can implement digital solutions in a clinical trial.

At the course, experienced experts from different stages of the value chain in clinical trials share their experiences with e.g. regulatory authorities, patient associations, Decentralised Clinical Trial (DCT) related associations, principal investigators, and both pharmaceutical/biotech and CRO/SAAS providers.

During the course you also have the opportunity to put your new knowledge into use when you participate in group sessions.


Your learning experience

The course takes a novel approach to learning as it is built as a decentralised clinical trial to enhance your practical outcome of the course. You get:

    • Prior to course start you are asked to sign-on to the trial platform and you get a hands-on decentralised trial experience.
    • 3 days of lectures, case-based group assignments, and selected vendor demonstrations. The 3 on-site days are held at Atrium on October 1 - 3, 2024.
    • Between the physical course dates, there will be online sessions (2 x 2 hours) with teaching from experts within the field. More info to follow.

    Other course participants say

    "Focused, relevant, well-planned and well-executed course. Various backgrounds of the attendees contributed to interesting discussions. Good balance between presentations, real-life cases, and case-work."

    Hanne Klenø, MSL



    "The facilitators clearly have experience in the field and are able to facilitate discussions on both the past, current situation, and what might happen in the future. Furthermore the other course participants also engaged in relevant and insightful discussions."

    Mikael Gibson, Senior Trial manager and eClinical specialist, Zealand Pharma A/S
