Letter from the SCDM Chair

As I look back at the first 5 months of the year, I am amazed at how much we have accomplished at SCDM! Before I get to our accomplishments, let me share our vision and priorities for the next five years and my focus as the 2025 SCDM Chair. Our 2030 Vision is centered on four key areas: “Clinical Research 2.0”, End-to-End Data Flow, Intelligent Technologies, and Patient’s Choice. In each of these areas, SCDM will identify opportunities in developing an education strategy to advance our profession from Certified Clinical Data Associate (CCDA), through Certified Clinical Data Manager (CCDM), to Certified Clinical Data Scientist (CCDS). Additionally, we want to grow and leverage our partnerships to bring to new ideas, technologies, and processes to SCDM and the industry. Through all of this we grow our global influence.
