Frequently Asked Questions

The Certificate Program is designed to take one year, with a minimum requirement of 12 units.

In order to make our program accessible to a diverse group of participants from across the U.S., as well as within our own neighborhoods, the program is currently operating entirely virtually. Courses will be remote, with options to participate in hands-on workshops and other educational opportunities in the future.

The programs focus on developing knowledge and practical skill sets across five core competencies: 1) Clinical Trials and Development; 2) Project Management and Technical Writing; 3) Risk Management and Compliance; 4) Drugs, Biologics and Medical Devices; and 5) Data Science and Quality Systems.

Starting this fall, classes will be held virtually, on weeknights and Saturdays. This means that students can continue their professional work during the week and can further their education by taking classes a few weekends a year.
