The
post-baccalaureate program is intended for those who have
a Bachelors degree and who wish to acquire the basic theoretical
and practical skills in assisting and coordinating in Clinical
Research. Graduates of these Certificate programs are equipped
with the knowledge and skills to become general practitioners
in the field, as well as to enter and pursue advanced degree
programs in the field.
This course will provide the foundational preparation needed
to become a Clinical Research Associate (CRA) or Clinical
Research Coordinator (CRC). Over the past several years, the
demand for qualified CRA's and CRC's has grown rapidly. More
importantly, the demand for qualified Clinical Researchers
is expected to nearly double within the next ten years. Since
they monitor clinical investigations of experimental drugs
and devices, course content will focus on important concepts
and information essential to effective functioning in the
research arena. The program begins with an overview of drug
development and the regulated environment. Other topics to
be covered include critical skills and meaningful insights
in areas related to the management of pre-study activities,
study protocols, initiation, management, termination procedures,
and collateral project management. |
