Certified Professional for Medical Software (CPMS)
The initiative “Certified Professional for Medical Software” (CPMS) ⤴ aims at the following goals:
- To establish a focussed education for professionals in and around the field of medical software
- To achieve a common educational background for the target groups
- To promote and raise awareness for the occupational profile of medical software development
Achieving these goals entails the following benefits:
- Creating a common terminology, understanding, and interpretation that simplifies communication between stakeholders
- The structure, standardization, and documentation of the program means it is comparable, can be outsourced, and helps to document one’s own competencies
- Being close to practice means it helps to avoid overhead costs while developing safe and innovative medicine products
- Raising awareness for qualitative software that considers legal requirements of implementing software in clinical use.
