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)witha focus inthree 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 application byworkingwithclinical systems including Clinical Trial Management Systems (CTMS), Electronic Data Capture, Safety Information Systems, and TMF platforms, and benefit from both instructor-ledtrainings and ongoing coaching and support of Line Managers andCOLs.

Finally, APEX CRAs accompany CRAs for observational and co-monitoring support on-site or during remote visitswhich combines learningfor the APEX CRAs and workloadaidfor theirCRAcolleagues.Upon completion of the program, you're well-positioned to independently function within the CRA role and to immediately begin successful monitoring!

Qualifications

  • Minimum Bachelor's degree in life sciences/data sciences/pharmacy/nursing or other health related disciplines.
  • Strong interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills within a matrixed team.
  • Experience working in a self-driven capacity, with a sense of urgency and limited oversight.
  • A client-focused approach to work and flexible attitude with respect to assignments/new learning.
  • The ability to manage multiple tasks, evaluate a variety of unpredictable scenarios and achieve project timelines while being able to apply your understanding of study protocol(s).
  • An honest and ethical work approach to promote the development of life changing treatments for patients.
  • Strong computer skills with aptitude to learn new systems quickly.

  • Travel expectations:The CRA role is a largely field based role that requires frequent travel multiple times per month. Investigator sites participating in studies span the country, from large research centers to smaller offices so traveling to them is a part of the CRAs role. You can expect at least 5 trips per month that are multi day overnight stays in different location. Also travel time can vary widely depending on the location of the site, flights, proximity to the airport and travel delays. There are other factors that will impact the travel times including your location, the study you are working on and the location of the sites. During the first six months, travel will be limited but, as your development continues, travel will increase.
