Abstract

As a populous Eastern European country with a strong medical education system, Ukraine has the potential to become a key player in the field of clinical data management, targeting international clinical research organizations and life science companies worldwide. At present, the country has been slow to develop independent clinical research and biotech sectors, and as a result there is a shortage of clinical data management specialists in the country. This article reviews the current state of clinical research in Ukraine, and discusses a novel industry-led training program to increase the pipeline of clinical data managers by retraining healthcare professionals. This is an opportunity for the private sector to attract the brightest professionals and transition them into new careers such as clinical data management. Further expansion of these training programs to more comprehensive education settings in partnership with local universities will enable growth in Ukraine’s academic, biomedical, and clinical research sectors.
