Positions in clinical research are increasingly in demand as the need grows for professionals to conduct and administer these studies—especially when you think about the tremendous growth in biopharmaceutical and medical device/in vitro diagnostics sectors. The industry is also seeing a need for clinical research associates to manage domestic and global clinical trial studies, with those numbers increasing each year.
Our Certificate Program in Clinical Research Conduct and Management helps prepare you for a career in the clinical research profession. This certificate provides a sequence of integrated courses that will give you a thorough foundation in the skills and knowledge you need to perform and oversee clinical trials and clinical research studies.
Regulations and guidelines govern the clinical trials process, and having a thorough understanding of the procedures at every stage of the process is essential. In your courses, you’ll review FDA regulations, International Council on Harmonization (ICH) and Good Clinical Practices (GCP) guidelines. You’ll also develop a working knowledge of practical procedural guidelines and the ethical considerations covering multiple aspects of clinical trials.
