With many of the nation’s leading pharmaceutical, biomedical and medical device companies as its neighbors, UMDNJ has launched a new initiative to support the lifelong learning and workforce development needs of these vital industries.

The BioPharma Educational Initiative offers working professionals the opportunity to advance their careers and increase their productivity through a variety of courses, certificates and degree programs. Additionally, companies can opt for customized approaches that address their specific learning needs and/or time constraints.

Among the Initiative’s offerings is the new Certificate in Clinical Recruitment Science, which prepares students to apply both strategic and scientific methods to patient recruitment and site selection for clinical trials. Additionally, more than 70 individual courses are available to those who want to increase their basic knowledge or specific skills in a wide variety of fields. Most of these courses are web-based to fit into the schedules of busy professionals.
