During our Clinical Development Online course we will introduce you to the question-based method of clinical development. This approach, which is based on the so-called Real Options Theory, facilitates the rational and efficient design of a pathway to developing novel medical interventions. This approach is hardly ever used in the biomedical sector, but it is very common in many other industries. During this course, you will learn how to apply it using our Futurelab tool, the Question Optimizer Calculator. You will also learn to formulate the key questions which will have to be answered during the development process and to estimate both the associated costs and the likelihood of answering these key questions.

At the end of the online course you will take an online exam and receive an official certificate.
