The Northwestern Center for Clinical Research Pathways in Clinical Research: CRC Basic Training -- A Practical Introduction to the Clinical Research Coordinator Role
Course Description: This three-day intensive training program was designed to meet the needs of coordinators who have less than one year of experience or who have never received formal training. It is useful to anyone who requires a fast, thorough introduction to clinical research trial conduct, Good Clinical Practices (GCPs), and the federal regulations governing research. The class is geared toward providing practical information to get students "up and running" in the clinic, with many tools and templates to assist with study implementation.
Classes are typically limited to eight students to ensure that each student receives individualized instruction suited to their levels of experience. The course fee includes all materials, and students completing the course will receive 24.0 hours of CE credit.
Please note that completion of this course will not provide students with certification as a CRC. One to two years of full-time work experience in the field are required before an individual is eligible to sit for the CRA or CRC certification exams.
