Student Testimonials
"I work in the Early Clnical Development group at my company as a clinical data analyst. I decided to take online classes from Temple University's RAQA graduate program to enhahance my knowledge about clinical trial management. I am very happy that I spent time once a week for the online courses. I learned many terms I heard at meetings which hadn't been clear to me. Now I know exactly what the terms mean, and I also understand how clinical trials and clinical data should be managed, how we need to protect patient privacy, and why patient consent is critical when obtaining samples for research and development."
"I pursued the Clinical Trial Management Certificate to show my current employer that I am qualified to do my job and that I desire to learn continuously about my field. This Certificate will also help me to pursue new career opportunities before finishing my master's degree. I will hang the Certificate in my office to show my staff how much I value advanced education."
