ETHC 635 FUNDAMENTALS OF COORDINATING CLINICAL RESEARCH
The clinical research coordinator (CRC) is a specialized research professional that works with, and under the direction of, the clinical investigator. Although the clinical investigator is legally responsible for the management of the clinical trial at a site, the CRC handles the majority of the daily clinical trial activities and plays a critical role in the study conduct. This course reviews the knowledge and skills necessary to be a good CRC, the duties and responsibilities of a CRC, and the importance of the CRC to be an efficient and effective operative of clinical trials.
