The CRC Academy is a comprehensive program that was designed specifically with Sites and future coordinators in mind. The responsibilities typically placed upon a CRC seem to be ever-increasing. At the same time, the short supply of well trained coordinators is one of the largest pain points in the clinical research industry. Oftentimes, the solution for sites is to hire for potential while simultaneously attempting to teach the fundamentals of research as the demand for experienced and well trained CRCs is competitive. While this is a logical strategy, the new trainees can sometimes get in the way of the Site’s workflow and thereby causing frustration from all stakeholders. We created this CRC Academy to alleviate some of these challenges for Sites and prospective CRCs.
