  • I think there is not much of a difference in how project management is structured and executed between the medical industry and any other industry. But one major difference or challenge for project management in the medical field is risk management. Although other industries have this as well, it’s usually a static evaluation but for medical industries, risk management is a dynamic evaluation. Materials and devices are constantly evolving and changing once they set inside a body due to the body’s function and reactions. Therefore, risks are to be evaluated in a much different and detained manner than say, building a bridge. Devices, furthermore react differently from patient to patient. Therefore, the project management cannot be a general work but a personalized work. This poses a much bigger challenge for project management in the medical industry.
