Clinical Trial Design & Management
I was recently hired for a position with InterMune as the Clinical Information Manager of Investigator-Sponsored Trials, in the Medical Affairs group.
I'm really excited about my new position, and I'm convinced that had I not taken any Clinical Trials classes, I would not have been considered for the job.
I'm thrilled that the program helped me get into the industry. It will be really nice to be able to immediately relate the lectures to my day-to-day work, and I also feel it's important for me to continue taking classes, not only for my professional growth and to complete the certificate, but to also be part of a support network of instructors and fellow students.
