The Clinical trials industry is a fast growing multi-billion dollar industry that is making a significant impact in the improvement of healthcare delivery across the globe. The clinical trials industry is expected to be worth $65 billion by the year 2025.
To effectively conduct clinical trials, sponsor companies (pharmaceutical and medical device) as well as contract research organizations (CROs) depend on the expertise of clinical research associates (CRA) and clinical research coordinators (CRC). Considering the expansion rate of this industry, there is a need for the influx of more CRAs and CRCs into this field.
The course we are offering is a clinical research training course to prepare professionals for clinical trial jobs in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries.
CRCs are part of the key players involved in clinical trials all over the world. Clinical trials serve as a very important clinical and regulatory step in bringing new safe and effective drugs into the market as well as innovative medical devices that will help tackle a lot of the medical conditions faced by lots of patients all over the world.
We offer both individual and group training courses for those interested in becoming clincial research associates. IMGC also provides professional support for CRCs already in the industry. Our Instructors are medical professionals (MDs, RNs, etc.) who are experienced clinical research professionals.
In addition to the ability to read, interpret, and understand medical technology, clinical research associates must have excellent interpersonal and communication skills. The ability to understand best clinical practices, design protocols, and data standards requires CRCs to have outstanding attention to detail, analytical skills, and the capacity to deliver constructive feedback to participating research sites on their performance. Although not a requirement, many CRCs travel between multiple research sites for study oversight, which may require a valid driver’s license, the physical capacity to travel, and/or willingness to fly or drive on a regular basis.
