A Clinical Research Coordinator supports the Principal Investigator of medical clinical trials by maintaining daily processes and monitoring for compliance with all institutional, state, and federal regulations. A Clinical Research Coordinator typically holds a degree in a health-related field that includes specific instruction in content related to clinical research trials (i.e. health sciences, biostatistics, healthcare management, epidemiology, and human anatomy).
Undergraduate students can complete the Clinical Research Coordinator certificate to begin a career in clinical research; non-traditional students looking for a career change may also enroll.
