Join the APEX CRA Program!
Are you a recent graduate and do you have 1 year or less of clinical experience? Did you study in the life sciences/data sciences/dataanalytics/clinical/nursing area?
The Accelerated Program of Education, Exposure, and Experience for CRAs (APEX CRA) provides foundational clinical researchtraining - including project and systemexperience - to new CRA hires who are recent college graduates and have less than a year of monitoring experience.
Through this program, you'll transform into a credible and experienced CRA I. As you progress, APEX CRAs perform billable project tasks to support the CRAs and Clinical Operations Leads(COLs) with a focus in three developmental areas: Project Support, Initiation CRA support, and Site Facing support. You'll be required to complete the ACRP Entry Level Knowledge Assessment and are enrolled in a 1-year membership to the ACRP. You'll also work closely with CRAs to gain exposure to and experience with the CRA role and its responsibilities across a period of three to six months.
During this experience, you'll have the opportunity to practically apply in-class concepts with day-to-day applicationby working with clinical systems including Clinical Trial Management Systems (CTMS), Electronic Data Capture, Safety Information Systems, and TMF platforms, and benefit from bothinstructor-led trainings and ongoing coaching and support of Line Managers and COLs. Finally, APEX CRAs accompany CRAs for observational and co-monitoring support on-site or during remote visits which combines learning for the APEX CRAs andworkload aid fortheir CRA colleagues. Upon completion of the program, you're well-positioned to independently function within the CRA role and to immediately begin successful monitoring! More about you
