ACRP will also connect you to the people and resources you need to be successful in clinical research. No other event offers more opportunities to share kinship, knowledge, and fun with your community.

Don’t miss NAMSA’s Wendy Schroeder (Principal Strategy Consultant, Clinical), who will be hosting a session titled “A Primer on the CMS Criteria for Approving Investigational Device Exemption Studies” on May 4 from 11:30a-12:30p. The session focuses on troubleshooting the “justifications” for the 10 approval criteria that matter most to CMS and learning more about what kinds of IDEs become winners.
