The online 10-Week CRA & CRC Beginner Program provides a comprehensive introduction to clinical research and the job functions of the Clinical Research Associate (CRA) and Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) for both drug/biologic and device trials. This program is geared toward individuals seeking a new career or career change into clinical research, but who don’t know which job track to pursue. Case studies and industry best practices are presented to underscore how the learning objectives apply directly to the responsibilities of the CRA and CRC. Upon completion, Barnett will provide resume assistance so that you can position yourself for entry into this market.

What previous students have said ...
“Many times over the last 10 weeks, I've been able to apply the information directly to something I was working on at my job. I appreciated being able to see the importance of the quality of the work I do. We work with many different CROs and sponsors. It was extremely helpful seeing the clinical trial industry from their perspective.“
“I thought it was fantastic and it did help me land my job - a CRA I. (My role prior to taking the class was Clinical Affairs Coordinator). My satisfaction with the class was high because there was interaction AND online - a tough combo to find.”
“I am a CRC and am running four studies now. The class was such a great class to start with and I am using what I learned daily. I am very happy to be in research.”
“I'm a technical trainer for a large clinical trials division and my goal in taking this course was to better understand the role played by a CRA. This course has definitely done that for me and I can see myself applying what I have learned to my trainings. The presenter has a lot of real world knowledge and experience which she constantly applied to the course. I couldn't ask for a better speaker/trainer. Very easy to navigate and great use of technology. On a scale of 1 to 10......12!”
