Clinical Research Associate I Program
PSI’s Clinical Research Associate (CRA) I program is designed for those with a healthcare/study coordinator background and no industry experience as a monitor. The course provides practical, hands-on training as it relates to the CRA I job function, and covers core sponsor and research site activities that promote the successful monitoring of clinical trials.
In the program, Good Clinical Practice (GCP) skills are reinforced through a combination of activities, including lectures, case studies, scenario reviews, homework assignments, and supplemental reading. We will follow an ICH global GCP framework making it appropriate for global audiences. The course is built on personal monitor training experiences and is designed to prepare individuals for clinical monitoring in the field.
The resources required to take this remote course are an Internet connection, your computer and Course materials. We will use Zoom video meetings and will provide you with the links to actively participate in visual presentations remotely.
