Ok. Its not easy becoming a CRA. From a UK perspective. 1. You need a undergraduate in health sciences. 3 years 2. Do a masters in a clinical science. 1 year. 3. In University, work in phlebotomy for example, get some health work under your belt. 4. Post Uni, get yourself a position in any clinical trials post, 12 to 24 months, you'll go on multiple courses for example GCP. Do anything that will highlight your working clinical background. 5. Push your CV/Resume to as many pharmaceuticals, Clinical start ups as possible 6. Get yourself through the door as a junior CRA. After about 6 years , from 18 to 24 Years of age, including your basement clinical research work, you may, with a bit of luck, have that first step as a junior CRA, earning 35k(gbp). Another 2 years will give you the platform to move on, CRA2. Earning 50k(gbp) plus. By the time you are 30 years of age, more openings, more money. Its not easy, no shortcuts, you need to be diligent in your work. There is no room for mistakes. A very rewarding career hopefully awaits. GL

I started in regulatory for a academic hospital then became a CRA. I wouldn’t say CRA is a entry level position. Most CRA are former RNs, Study Coordinators, & regulatory personnel who worked at a site such as a clinic or academic institution/hospital.

[@lindseychoi]

Hi! Can I become a CRA with a BSN degree?

[@upshawjohn94]

@@lindseychoi Absolutely however my best advice would be to become a Research Nurse/Study Coordinator at a hospital. Keep in mind most CRAs have BSNs and MSNs and we’re former Research Nurses at the site level.

[@justinabenson7229]

That would be something you get to decide for yourself. I switched from Nursing to Healthcare administration and pivoted in Health-tech consulting. Just like you, I also considered public health, but Healthcare administration aligned more with my goals so I went that route instead.
