DESCRIPTION:
 \"Re-inventing the Entry-Level Clinical Research Coordinator
 \" Presented by Lauren Ballina Chang\, Clinical Research Fastrack/National
  Program Director
 The PMI Atlanta announces a new forum for 2018 - Clini
 cal Research Forum. Join us in the 1st Quarter as we launch this exciting 
 new forum in Marietta!
 Presentation
 
 
 The CRAs complain to us quie
 tly\, the site managers try to control their frustration and the surveys c
 onfirm this issue we all know to be true. The varying level of knowledge\,
  competency\, and professionalism of clinical research coordinators at the
  site level is problematic in clinical research. The role of clinical rese
 arch coordinator (CRC) is a technical position requiring working knowledge
  of ICH GCP and the Code of Federal Regulations. CRCs are required to coll
 ect and document data appropriately and accurately. Their work can have di
 rect impact on the efficiency and quality of a trial. Of 60 current clinic
 al research professionals surveyed\, 4 (7%) reported purposefully seeking 
 a position in clinical research. The remaining 56 reported that they “fe
 ll into clinical research” and stayed because the field is so rewarding.
  All reported on the job training in their entry-level position as inconsi
 stent and incomplete. Many felt overwhelmed in their first position and th
 at experience and mistakes have been their best teachers. Why is our indus
 try not doing a better job in training new coordinators?
 The standardiza
 tion of entry-level training for clinical research staff is absolutely ess
 ential\, but still a long way off. Clinical Research Fastrack is disruptin
 g this alarming status quo\, one CRC at a time. By delivering a robust cur
 riculum focused on ICH GCP\, Code of Federal Regulations\, protocol\, good
  documentation practices\, adverse events\, protocol deviations\, clinical
  trial operations\, participant recruitment and retention\, responsibiliti
 es of study team members (including the PI)\, informed consent\, and resea
 rch skills all coupled with a hands-on internship at a clinical trial site
 \, CRF is re-inventing the entry-level CRC. This robust entry-level traini
 ng is having profound effects not only at the site level but is leading to
  more efficient\, ethical\, and higher quality work at both the CRO and Sp
 onsor level.
