Develop a foundation in clinical research fundamentals and the CRA role, including site monitoring and stakeholder collaboration. Prepare for CRA interviews and career progression.
Discover the fundamentals of clinical research, including trial types and phase one to four of clinical trials, while understanding CRA roles, ethics, consent, and stakeholder responsibilities.
Learn the clinical research associate role and responsibilities, and how CRAs monitor sites to ensure GCP, SOPs, protocol adherence, data integrity, patient safety, and ethics.
Learn how a cra conducts site monitoring visits to oversee trial progress, ensure protocol compliance and gcp, and apply four visit types: site qualification, initiation, routine, and closeout.
Learn how to perform site selection visits for clinical trials, covering pre study visit, four key areas (investigator, trial experience, site facility, site staff), and regulatory readiness.
Learn how a site initiation visit trains the site on protocol, regulatory requirements, and data systems, confirms site readiness, and sets recruitment, timelines, and monitoring expectations for a clinical trial.
Conduct interim monitoring visits to verify protocol adherence, GCP compliance, and regulatory requirements during ongoing trials. Review data, safety events, IP accountability, and informed consent to ensure site quality.
Conduct a site closeout visit (COV) to finalize data, reconcile queries, ensure investigator site file archival, and verify IP accountability, disposal, and regulatory and ethics compliance.
Learn to create and use four major monitoring checklists—site selection, initiation, routine monitoring, and closeout—ensuring protocol adherence, sponsor requirements, and critical to quality factors in every CRA activity.
Explore the CRA role, transitioning from CRC/CTA to independent monitoring, mastering patient management, trial conduct, systems, and documentation for successful clinical research.
