In this five-week online Futurelab course, you are introduced to the question-based method of clinical development. This approach, which is based on the so-called Real Options Theory, facilitates the rational and efficient design of a pathway for developing novel medical interventions. You will learn how to apply this approach; how to formulate key questions; and how how to optimally deal with risk and costs in development. It is possible to take this online course as a stand-alone course.
