The Future of Data Management

Data collection and management approaches are shifting. Today’s clinical research environment consists of a never-ending flow of real-world data from various sources, subject to multiple regulatory requirements and via a variety of standardized formats. Taking these massive amounts of data points and translating them from data to information, knowledge and, ultimately, wisdom requires a new set of skills for our data scientists. This session will discuss what it means to be a data scientist in our current healthcare world, highlighting what skills are needed, where to get them and how to maintain these skills as data management continues to evolve. 

This session is part of a three-part series, The Digital Core Competencies: Clinical Research Informatics for the Pharma Industry, exploring the intersection of the pharma workforce with clinical informatics and research. Each webinar features a fireside chat with an opportunity for audience questions. Attendees will be awarded certification of completion from Duke University School of Medicine MMCi.
