Clinicalresearch is part of a growing industry that provides individuals with rewarding career options and a ladder to climb. Working in the clinical trials industry allows clinicalresearchers to work with patients and bring new drugs to market. There are many professions under the clinicalresearch umbrella.
Many clinicalresearch professionals “fell into” this career pathway rather than choosing it deliberately from the outset. Multiple career trajectories can bring individuals into clinicalresearch,” said Kristen Gurnea, MPH, CCRC, ACRP-PM, Manager of ClinicalResearch at Renown Health.
If you’ve spent some time working as a clinicalresearch associate (CRA) and are looking to advance your career, you might be wondering where to start. Here are three ways to advance your career in clinicalresearch. In addition, ICON runs a graduate program to train the next generation of clinicalresearchers.

One person who had her eyes opened to clinicalresearch not so long ago is Javanese Ling, SLPD, CCC, ACRP-CP, now a CRA with a contract research organization. Still relatively new to the industry, she had earlier worked as a medical speech-language pathologist and as a teacher of neuroscience courses.
The clinicalresearch industry is increasingly recognizing the need for diversity, especially as it relates to the Latino population and other minorities. One major development is the expansion of clinical trials into Latin America. The latest U.S. This rapid expansion is vital when considering healthcare equity.
For example, many people who are just beginning to explore different roles in clinicalresearch find the duties of a clinicalresearch associate (CRA) very attractive (on paper, at least). The full article by Chew will appear in the August 2024 issue of ClinicalResearcher.

On the employee side, Kasey Sands, PhD, MSN, RN, a clinicalresearch quality engineering specialist with Frestedt Inc, says she and others like her are more likely to stick around if they see a defined career path with training opportunities. Signing bonuses. No, it’s not the National Football League draft.
BSN, MSN, will take a break from his home gardening and competitive sport shooting to once again present a day-long Friday workshop aimed at helping new clinicalresearchers face the many workforce-related challenges being thrown at them, as he has for nearly 25 years, this time teamed up with several colleagues. Rowell, Jr.,
From AI and machine learning producing an era of rapid new pathways, to an industry-wide push for equitable representation in clinical trials, 2023 will be a catalytic year for biopharma clinicaldevelopment and commercialization,” the company notes in its press release on this, its 13th annual trends report.
Just ask Michaele Linden-Johnson, FACHE, MBA, LCSW, director of clinical trials and business development at the Medical Center of the Americas (MCA) Foundation Cardwell Collaborative in El Paso, Texas. We’re all about developing a workforce designed to reflect our patient population,” Linden-Johnson says.
As Christina Brennan, MD, MBA, CCRC, begins her volunteer duties as the 2025 Chair of the Association Board of Trustees (ABoT) for ACRP, she took time to answer some questions about her experience in the clinicalresearch enterprise, some of the challenges and opportunities facing it, and how ACRP can be of service to its members and stakeholders.
Some of the other educational sessions from the Saturday morning lineup of topics concentrated on the intricacies of pitching the availability of clinical trials to potential participants, and on incorporating the principles of best patient engagement practices into the training of clinicalresearch professionals.

Introduction: Clinical trials are essential for evaluating the safety and efficacy of new medical treatments, therapies, and interventions. Developing an accurate and comprehensive budget is crucial for successful trial planning and execution. Key Considerations 2.1 Best Practices 3.1
So you say you took one or a few courses on a topic of special interest in clinicalresearch, studied diligently, aced the test, and earned a certificate? Congratulations! But did you know that achievement doesn’t mean you can say you are a certified individual?
To try to bridge the gap between PRO collection and meaningful use during clinical encounters, the RA PRO dashboard was developed. However, there is a gap between collecting the PROs and communicating about the PROs with patients. There were 4 clusters with 4-6 physicians each (a mix of attendings and fellows).
Virtual Pre-Site includes delivery of HD live-streaming glasses that enable an on-site ClinicalResearchCoordinator (CRC) to provide a remote ClinicalResearch Associate (CRA) access to all aspects of the site virtually simply by walking through the site wearing the glasses.
Assessing the capacity of a clinicalresearchcoordinator (CRC) is one of many challenges involved in managing clinical trials—which are heterogeneous and increasingly complex, with rising regulatory burdens and tight budgets. Taking the guesswork out of assigning trials.

One of the most time and resource intensive tasks in clinicalresearch is data entry. . Clinicalresearchcoordinators spend countless hours transferring clinical data from a patient’s Electronic Health Record (EHR) into a study specific Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system.
Just as clinicalresearchers in other therapeutic areas have renewed their commitment to improving participant diversity in clinical trials, so too have those working in Alzheimer’s research. What Factors Promote Alzheimer’s Clinical Trial Participation? Similarly, older Latino and Hispanic individuals are 1.5
However, in the quest for the “North Star” of quality in clinicalresearch conduct, Burrow urged his audience to appreciate the tenets of the Quality by Design concept, which he said, at its heart for the profession, concerns what “we really need to get right to ensure the reliability of [study] results and patient protection.”
As Christine Senn, PhD, CCRC, CPI, ACRP-CP, FACRP, Chief Integration Officer with Centricity Research, settles into her volunteer duties as the 2023 Chair of the Association Board of Trustees (ABoT) for ACRP, she took time to answer some questions about her outlook on the current state of the Association and the clinicalresearch enterprise.
In recognition of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month , ACRP recently went behind the scenes with a clinicalresearchcoordinator on the study team for a bold Cleveland Clinic investigation of a vaccine aimed at preventing triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), the most aggressive and lethal form of the disease.
This year, VirTrial entered the competition with its newly developed, industry-first, ‘virtual site monitoring ’ solution, Virtual Pre-Site.

Across the clinicalresearch industry, “patient-centricity” has been a focal point for enrollment but that’s no longer enough. We need to be talking about “participant engagement,” which better reflects the integral role participants play in the entire research process. WCG is accelerating research and improving lives, together.
Historically, people from racial and ethnic minorities have been underrepresented in clinicalresearch. Put simply, to develop medicines for all, we must conduct research for all. Clinical trials must represent the broad diversity of patients we serve and enable equitable access.
