For four days, you will further explore question-based development in the beautiful setting of the castle and hotel Oud-Poelgeest. With a small group of maximum 30 course participants, you will reside at the castle and examine teaching cases that are based on real events. In “what really happened” sessions, invited speakers discuss the actual choices that were made during the case.

Out of my comfort zone
“I loved the ‘corporate finance’ bit, really out of my comfort zone, but it did give me so much more insight into the financial considerations in clinical development”
Meta Roestenberg, Leiden University Medical Center, Clinical Development Online graduate
Happy with responses
“Real life case studies and learning about 'how it really happened'. Very happy with responses on comments (timewise and content)”
Joost van Middendorp, Pfizer, Clinical Development Online graduate
Interesting insights
“Very nice approach, all cases were well explained in the provided papers and the interviews always gave interesting insights”
Pierre-Eric Juif, Actelion, Clinical Development Online graduate
Not the traditional classroom
"Clinical development was dissected in a different way than I am used to, which was intriguing. The interface of the online course and exam were really nice: simple and straightforward to interact with, at your own pace and time, and you can go back and forth as you wish, certainly not the traditional way of a frontal classroom interface!”
Ofer Spiegelstein, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, Clinical Development Online graduate
Nicely set up
"I think this course is very nicely set up, with a mix of videos, explanations, examples and self-assessments"
Nicoline Treijtel, Astellas, Clinical Development Online graduate
Challenging content
"I thoroughly enjoyed this course! The content, consisting of great videos, articles, and assignments, both challenged and matched my knowledge of clinical development."
Jaap Sniekers, Novartis, Clinical Development Online graduate
