Abstract

Clinical Research Data Management, often called CDM has grown into a mature profession. This article reviews that development. A proposed set of clinical research data management goals are articulated. The scope of practice is defined according to established professional competencies in clinical data management and informatics. CDMs of the future will need to command a wide array of tools and methods applicable to data collection and use in clinical studies. Graduate education will likely become an entry point to the profession.
