We established the Certified Clinical Data Manager (CCDM®) program to help clinical data managers to institute a standard of knowledge, education and experience by which they would be officially recognized by the profession.
The CCDM® program has been designed to identify credible, trained, qualified and committed professionals in Clinical Data Management (CDM) and provides real-time feedback for organizations seeking to hire the best and the brightest in their field.
A Beta Exam is a new version of a certification exam that is in development. When the study is complete, candidates who participated will receive their results.
A subset of statistically performing Beta Exam questions will become the exam for the certification for which it has been developed and the previous exam is retired.
APPLICANTS FOR THE CERTIFIED CLINICAL DATA MANAGER (CCDM™) PROGRAM MUST MEET ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA
Additional notes
- Applicants do not need to be SCDM members, nor must they be currently employed as a clinical data manager to apply for certification
- Individuals whose CDM certification is currently suspended are not eligible to take the certification exam until the suspension lifts
- Individuals whose names are on the FDA debarment list or have had certification permanently revoked are not eligible to take the certification exam.
