Last week online!
You’re almost there! Today the fifth and final week (5) of the online course Question Based Clinical Development has become available. Some of you need some catching up to do. Try to keep up as we move towards the end of this course and the exam is getting closer. You will need to have finished the course before the exam!
QUESTIONS!
Week 5 offers two episodes of Questions!. Episode 5 contains an exciting feature: you get to decide how the story evolves by choosing one of two possible outcomes. Will compound ITL1437 reach the brain in sufficient amounts? In the season finale (Episode 6) Claire, Peter and Frank face a difficult decision regarding the future of their company…
CASES
I am impressed by the assignments uploaded so far for the week 4 case studies and the discussions! As you have noticed, practicing on real life cases adds to the complexity of clinical development. There is a wide variety in proposed question priority orders, project values and also in proposed development outlines. As you progress, take some time to review contributions by your fellow course participants and compare it with your own suggestion. Feel free to comment/reply on each others solutions or leave a more specific question. There is no right or wrong but we hope the approach we teach helps you to rationalize decision making and transparent discussions on the chosen path. That’s why we are looking forward to seeing you at the on campus or on campus extended part of the module to allow you to discuss the cases, work on new cases in small teams and dive in more detailed preparatory data. This week offers two new real life cases including a medical device for you to sink your teeth into. Practice finding clinical paths (or; priority questions lists) using the QOC and upload your development outline, before finding out ‘what really happened’.
EVALUATION FORM
We highly value your feedback on this online course to further improve this course! Please don’t forget to provide us with your comments & suggestions. You will find the brief evaluation form after the last topic of week 5.
ONLINE EXAM
April 27th 2018 the (brief) online exam on the online course Question Based Clinical Development is scheduled and 24th May a backup slot is available. You can do this online exam at home, at your organisation or elsewhere. The only things you’ll need is a quit room, clean desk and a laptop/desktop on which you can load the proctoring program and a microphone and webcam and a stable internet connection. During the short online exam we will use online proctoring that will be performed by a professional external party. That means you will have an online examiner supervising the exam. We’ll send you more details on the online exam soon. Mariëlla will coordinate the logistics of the exam so please contact her if you have any questions.
The online course materials and the QOC will remain available to you also after completing the course including any upgrades we’ll make.
I hope you enjoy a mini-Easter break and that you’ll enjoy working on the last weeks case studies and finalizing the online course!
