Business Wire
Medidata (NASDAQ:MDSO), the leading global provider of
cloud-based solutions for clinical research in life sciences, and
the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) have announced a
new partnership to educate the next generation of clinical
researchers.
“From the advent of new technologies and continuous data streams
to increasingly complex trial design, this is a time of tremendous
opportunity for those of us at the intersection of medicine,
science and technology,” said Medidata’s president Glen de Vries.
“We’re proud to partner with UNCW and help train the next
generation of clinical researchers, as they prepare to join the
life sciences industry and help make a meaningful difference in
patients’ lives.”
As part of the three-year agreement, Medidata will provide UNCW
with access to the Medidata Clinical Cloud® pro bono, equipping
future leaders with cutting-edge technology and practical
experience needed to excel in the field of clinical research and
make a lasting impact on patient health. Beginning in the Fall 2016
semester, approximately 80 students enrolled in UNCW’s College of
Health and Human Services’ Clinical Research program will be
trained on Medidata’s platform annually.
UNCW students will use Medidata’s industry-leading solution for
electronic data capture, management and reporting (Medidata Rave®)
and Medidata’s eLearning platform, Medidata Academy. Using a mock
study with fabricated patient data, students will learn to
organize, collect, review, monitor and track data. Similar to
professional Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) at more than 700
life sciences companies who use Medidata’s technology, the UNCW
students will also leverage iMedidata®, a secure portal which
provides unified access to all studies, eLearning courses and
centralized user administration.
“This partnership will train UNCW clinical research students on
some of the most advanced software available, enabling them to
experience how what they learn in their coursework applies to
situations involving actual patients and lab analysis,” said Kathy
Browder, senior associate dean of the College of Health and Human
Services. “The practical experience they receive will help them as
they seek employment in this rapidly growing field.”
The partnership expands UNCW’s commitment to advancing clinical
research and economic development in North Carolina. Last fall, the
University received a grant from the Duke Energy Foundation to
establish UNCW's Clinical Research Workforce Development program,
which includes curriculum enhancement, student fellowships and
continuing education programs.
