RALEIGH N.C. & DURHAM, N.C. Release Date: [March 2, 2021]- Pro-ficiency, the
leading provider of simulation-enabled, experiential training for clinical research, is
excited to announce the appointment of Michael Raymer to the position of Chief
Executive Officer.

strategic leadership, and experience to continue building Pro-ficiency as the premier
provider in clinical research training and compliance.”
“Pro-ficiency is in a truly unique position to meet an urgent market need, and to do so in

we drive this important change for how study training is conducted and managed, now
and for years to come.”
“When we started Pro-ficiency in 2013, it was with a vision of transforming the way our
industry thinks about human performance management. Michael shares this vision,”
says Co-Founder and Chief Game Changer Dave Hadden. “The world needs engaged
and informed investigators more than ever and I couldn’t be more excited to have
Michael helping us lead this charge.”
Raymer’s appointment follows the recent announcement of a strategic growth equity

has experienced rapid growth in sponsor and CRO appointments on complex Phase 3
global studies, with recent expansion into the Phase 2 study arena and the company’s
selection as the exclusive eLearning provider for the Association of Clinical Research
Professionals (ACRP). As CEO, Raymer is positioned to expedite Pro-ficiency’s growth
trajectory and position the organization as a leader in the study start-up and clinical
trials training space.
