Unlock the Power of Clinical Data with CDISC Certification: Enhance Your Career in Clinical Research with Encode-IT
The Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) is a globally recognized organization
that defines data standards for clinical trials and research. These standards ensure consistency,
accuracy, and interoperability of clinical data, making it easier to analyze and share information
across the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors. With the growing importance of standardized
data in clinical research, proficiency in CDISC standards is a valuable skill for professionals in the
clinical research field.
The CDISC Course at Encode-IT is designed to equip you with the essential knowledge and skills to
work with CDISC standards, including SDTM (Study Data Tabulation Model), ADaM (Analysis Data
Model), and other related frameworks. By the end of this course, you will be able to organize,
standardize, and analyze clinical trial data in line with industry standards, facilitating smooth
regulatory submissions and efficient data management.
This course is ideal for clinical data managers, statisticians, clinical researchers, and anyone involved
in clinical trials or regulatory submissions who wants to gain expertise in CDISC standards and
enhance their career in clinical research.
Salary Prospects in India:
In India, professionals proficient in CDISC standards are highly sought after in the pharmaceutical,
biotechnology, and clinical research industries. A skilled professional in CDISC can expect to earn
anywhere between ₹6 to ₹15 lakhs annually, depending on experience, role, and location. Senior
roles, such as Clinical Data Manager or Lead Statisticians working with CDISC data standards, can
command salaries exceeding ₹20 lakhs annually. As clinical research organizations (CROs) and
pharmaceutical companies increasingly adopt CDISC standards for regulatory submissions, the
demand for certified professionals in this field continues to grow, providing ample career
opportunities and competitive compensation packages.
