This course starts where the design control course at Medical Device HQ ends and adds the important layer of project management to the product development process and design control. The course is focused on how to efficiently manage a medical device product development project.
Key topics covered include how to get a project started, defining the scope, budgeting and scheduling to avoid cost and schedule overruns. You will also learn how to monitor and measure the progress of a project.
We recommend this course for R&D engineers wanting to become project managers, consultants working with medical device projects, project managers within the medical device industry, and managers working directly or indirectly with projects and product development.
The course is made up of pre-recorded videos, quizzes, and a final exam. You will have access to the course for six months from enrolment and will receive a course certificate upon successful completion of the course.
Peter Sebelius is a highly esteemed trainer, consultant and entrepreneur in the medical device industry. He is a member of the Joint Working Group that has authored the latest versions of ISO 13485 and ISO 14971 standards.
He has vast ‘hands on’ experience, having developed, amongst other things, a mechanical chest compression device and an ex vivo perfusion machine for lungs. He has received numerous awards including the Great Design Award and the title “This year’s specialist” by Veckans affärer.
This course will guide you through the process from invention or market brief, through pre-studies, to product approval and everything in between, preparing you to lead or take part in that process yourself.
We don’t live in a perfect world. This course talks about pitfalls, challenges and issues that many medical device projects face, and not least, how to avoid them. This will prepare you and make you ready to combat a lot of difficult situations in your work-life.
You will have access to the course for 6 months. The great thing about our online courses is that you can stop, repeat and resume as many times as you like during this time! This provides you with the flexibility to learn how and when you want.
You are required to have good knowledge and experience of design control before starting this course. We also strongly recommend that you take the Introduction to Design Control for Medical Devices online course before this course.
This course is also delivered as a blended course, where we combine the best of two worlds. You start with the online course, and then attend a live virtual 1-day classroom session with more in-depth information and practice.
There is no pass/fail on the final exam (as long as you complete it within the time frame). Your result will be printed on the course certificate which means you can be really proud of your result if you get between 90% and 100% of the answers correct!
If you are planning to attend the live virtual class, you will have to achieve over 85% on the final exam. If you don’t reach 85% on the final exam, we can reset your result for an additional fee.
