Renewal

SCDM Certified Clinical Data Management professionals (CCDMs) are required to renew their certification every three years from the time of their original certification.

To renew certification, candidates must acquire a minimum of 1.8 CEU's within three years. This time frame begins on the date of certification.

Obtaining CEUs through Educational Training and Conferences
SCDM requires that at least 60 percent of CEUs come from clinical data management (CDM) specific training.

Up to 40 percent of CEUs may come from non-CDM specific training. SCDM recommends that CEU applicants consider the CCDM Core Competencies when choosing any non-CDM specific training.

For examples of acceptable credits, please view the CEU percentage breakdown chart.

SCDM will accept CEU certificates* for training completed within organizations that offer IACET CEUs. CEU certificates must be provided for each training course completed. SCDM issued CEUs are on file and do not need to be submitted.

Certificates* for CEUs from public/non-profit organizations (SoCRA, SCT, DIA, ACRP, Universities) as well as private organizations (Barnett, EDC and Beyond, etc…), will be considered equally; however, internal company training is not applicable.

CEU certificates for training completed by organizations that do NOT offer IACET CEUs are accepted only when the applicant has submitted the Non-IACET CEU Affidavit Form to the SCDM Administrative Office and said provider is approved by SCDM.
