The EDC Programming team plays a central role in the Clinical Data Management CDM process by designing, developing, and maintaining Electronic Data Capture EDC systems used in clinical trials. The team configures study designs, visit structures, and electronic case report forms eCRFs while ensuring robust validation rules, edit checks, and regulatory compliance. This module provides learners with a structured understanding of CDM including its definition, importance, evolution, workflows, and responsibilities, enabling them to recognize the critical role of CDM in generating accurate and compliant trial data and to understand the contributions of CDM professionals and cross functional collaborators.
