Clinical Research Healthcare Careers Lifesciences Activity

Here are the some common mistakes Lifesciences & Pharmacy Freshers make while answering Clinical Data Management CDM Interview Questions:

1. Forgetting patient safety while talking about data

Mistake:

Saying “we just raise a query and close it”.

Why this fails:

CDM is not data entry. Anything linked to SAEs, labs, dosing, endpoints must be treated carefully.

Better thinking:

Mention safety impact before database lock.

2. Not linking Protocol to Data

Mistake:

Ignoring protocol reference ranges, visit schedules, and inclusion/exclusion criteria.

Reality:

All CDM decisions come from the protocol, not personal judgment.
