10-Week Risk Management/Risk-Based Quality Management for Clinical Trials Certification Program

Course Description

Are you prepared for Quality Risk Management (QRM), Risk Management (RM), Risk-Based Quality Management (RBQM)? With ICH GCP E6 R3 in the final draft stage the guideline still requires risk-based approaches to managing quality in clinical trials, this 10-Week series takes you through, step-by-step, how to execute these requirements. We will focus on the critical elements for clinical trial sponsors and CROs included in the ICH GCP E6 R3 expectations, while highlighting key points from other regulatory bodies such as ISO 31000 Risk Management. Each step of risk identification, assessment, control, review, reporting, management, and communication are also reviewed along with what is to be documented in the clinical study report.

Prior to the start of the course, participants will receive their login credentials and links to access and download the many class resources and class meeting links. Upon course completion, participants will be provided training certificates. In order to receive accreditation CEUs, participants are required to pass both a mid-term and final exam. Upon completion of the exams, CEU certificates will be provided.
