Clinical Research Coordinator

Overview

The Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) program prepares individuals who have responsibility for first-level integrity of a research project, including organization, collaboration and coordination, data collection, recruiting, screening and enrolling participants, scheduling, ensuring accuracy of documentation, preliminary technical report writing, and initial protocol development which ensures good clinical practice.

Clinical research coordinators work under the direct supervision of principal and
co-investigators. Education and training emphasis is placed on providing assistance in the research process related to regulatory compliance and other research projects.

Graduates of the CRC program may be eligible for professional certification after a year of work experience. Six Sigma Green Belt certification can be achieved by completing the following courses (three of which are required in the CRC program): Managing for Quality, Introductory Statistics, Applied Data Analysis, Project Management, and the Green Belt certification course.

The Clinical Research Coordinator program is an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Degree and is offered at the Marshfield campus. However, most classes are offered online and are not location dependent.
