Clinical trials from the final UAB Dept. of Medicine (DOM) divisions, listed below, went live in OnCore this week, marking the successful completion of another major phase of the implementation plan. Three other DOM divisions—Endocrinology, Cardiology, and Infectious Diseases—joined CCTS and the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center as users of the OnCore clinical trials management system (CTMS) in Dec. 2017. OnCore is replacing the older, and no longer supported, SiteMinder system.
