As a newbie in the clinical world thank you for videos like this.

Jennifer Jiang thanks for watching!

Hey Dan! I´m Rocio from Cordoba, Argentina. Thank you for this detailed explanation, It is really useful to me because I´m starting a master degree in monitoring clinical trials and often i get a little confused with all different names: CRC, CRA, etc. I would like to apply for a study coordinator job, but in my current city I think that is complicated. However I will try, and in the meantime I will continue learning from your videos. Thank you!

Thank you Dan, I like your unique channel 👍🏻

[@hannahwils3322]

This was very useful for me. I ve been preparing some job interviews as a CRA, and this is the clearest explanation about the differences between a CRC and a CRA. Actually I don't have any experience of the CRC, so I ve gotten lots of questions like "Why didn't you work as a CRC first?". I'm still looking for a CRA position, but I just started to consider working as a CRC for 1 or 2 yrs now. Anyway It was so nice. Thx.

[@dansfera]

+HN E im very happy to hear. Yes crc is great entry point.

Hi Dan. I have been interested in starting to become a CRC and your video really helped me understand and decipher the difference between CRC and CRA. Could you give me any advice on how I can land an entry position as a CRC? You’re feedback would be great!

As a CRC, I've never seen an opening where you didn't need a bachelors. While it may not be required across the board, it would be really tough to find something without one.

[@Jessica-uf3zp]

It's also longer before you can get certified.

[@rachaelfakile3358]

Thanks for the video, where do we place Research assistants in the clinical research network?

[@tth715]

A PI must holds an MD or doctoral-level degree (PhD, PharmD, DNP, DO, DDS or equivalent degree). It's incorrect to imply only physicians can be PI's! My 1st PI was a DVM and my 2nd a DNP. As a 3-yr CRC working for Emory U and holding a PhD in Public Health Epidemiology, I love being a CRC... Thanks

[@dansfera]

tth715 yes exceptions occur but not the norm

Hey Dan! Thank you for the video, its great info. I am working as a Research Coordinator Associate currently and only responsibilities I have is answering phone calls and data entry, surveys and scheduling. also worked as CR support Coordinator as an intern where I did TMF assessment, that's about it. I have a Masters in Clinical Research. Now how do I grow? all other jobs require exp of protocol handling, monitoring exp, and others which I do not have. Please advise. Thank You.

[@dansfera]

Just answered in my working in vs working on video which will be up soon!

[@BoogieDownProduction]

Hello Dan, thank you for the video. Other than CRC are there other roles that require a bachelors/masters, are entry level and provide patient interaction? I am recently graduated and would like to work with patients to gain experience and apply for PA school. So far I am applying to any CRC position that has patient contact but not sure if I should broaden to other related fields as well.

[@dansfera]

Try research Assistant

[@CarlosAlejandroRodriguez]

Out of curiosity, if you take on independent contracts, would you need to have your own business set up at that point? I would love to see a separate video on that.

[@dansfera]

Its probably best to do that but not necessary. I’ll do a video.

[@galinygoulois1590]

Hi, thanks for your videos, very useful. I have a question, do you know about Clinical Research Fastrack Program? What do you think about it? Thank you!

Hi I have a bachelors of science , project management certificate and a pharmacy technician certificate I recently obtained. I’m trying to break into the field but have no experience and so far all the job specs I’ve seen need some form of clinical experience and I’ve even considered looking at working as a phlebotomists. What advice can you give me and if you could make a video on how to break into this Role without experience- maybe talking possible volunteering options or how can can even get some experience. thank you

Great video! What is the difference between a clinical research management certificate vs masters?

[@dansfera]

No idea

[@rahulhirani8054]

Great video. I'm a rookie so it might sound stupid question to you but how do you compare Clinical Trial Manager with CRC and CRA?

[@dansfera]

Same fundamentals different contexts

[@shilpakale2371]

Thanks ..it was pretty much clear n focused. I am holding M.pharmacy (biopharmaceutics) degree and currently appearing for online based clinical research course , so as per your explanation I think I could search for CRA entry level position. As such my previous experience is diverse like pharma marketing n pharma asst.professor but as I shifted to other country after marriage it was difficult for me to find out pharmacy job there. Can you suggest me whether it would be better for me to start from entry level of CRA. I am polishing my knowledge through your video's.

[@charlesdavis7776]

I am looking to get a position as a CRC and this video began to prime my mind for what it is like to be a CRC. This video peelef back that first layer from the mystique of Clinical Research.

[@anthonywhitlock9222]

Dan, if you are an RN, is it likely to get a CRA job without CRC experience? Thanks

What prerequisites do you need before you can become a CRC?

None

[@kimberlyb4141]

Hello Dan, thank you for this video, it's very educational. I just graduated with a BA in Education in May 2019. Im currently attending school for my Masters in Healthcare Administration. I'm interested in Clinical Research and wonder if my Masters in Healthcare Admin will help me? Also I've been receiving information about Clinical Research Fast track programs. Are they ligit? Do you recommend them? If so, which one is best? This would be my first time getting into Clinical Research. Can you please advise me which way to go please? I just subscribed to your youtube chanel, would love to see more of your videos, they are very good. I'm glad I found it!

[@dansfera]

I think my CRA Academy is best of course! Most of our students go on to first get other research jobs before CRA. A masters is great but you need experience which my course gives. You wont be disappointed

[@Birkinpangie]

Dan Sfera where can we find your course ?

[@MythicalStoriesKannada]

Hey, I am working as a Data manager in India. I have two years of experience in this field. CRA and CRC is my dream job. I studied MSc biochemistry. Please guide me how to prepare for interview and which country is best to work in clinical research field. Thank you.

I'm a new CRC in Turkey, I have a question. I met with the doctor who runs research. Do I have to visit Pi Regularly every week like sales representatives or should I wait until pi get in touch with me? Thank you.

[@dansfera]

what are you trying to accomplish?

[@Jonathan544200]

Accomplish? If you're asking which stage are we at and what is the objectives of the study. It is randomized double-blind Placebo-controlled study. We are at the beginning. No participant has been selected yet. Besides what I m trying to ask is, you mentioned in the video CRC work directly for the PI so should I pay a visit to PI regularly even if I'm not called.

[@dansfera]

Yes do whatever it takes (within the law) to get the patients interested. Follow up!

What are the requirements for CRC and CRA hire? Is there some exam certificate? Can I be hired as a CRC just like that? Like what are they looking for in a CV/Resume? Are there part-time jobs for CRC? I am an International Medical Graduate (US citizen) aspiring to get into Neurology Residency, so I want to publish research papers in adjunct to a Physician. I have no prior research experience so would being CRC help me in any way . Do CRC get credited in research papers? Are they the same as Research Assistants? Does Clinical Research Training Program have anything to do with CRC or CRA or are they for entry into PI?

[@dansfera]

Hired just like that

[@dansfera]

Crc on industry studies do not but you can connect with people now to collaborate on papers. Look up the desci movement on twitter

[@alexbenitez-mena7372]

Don’t know anything about this topic, but seems to me the CRC is getting shafted at 36k. If it’s entry level than why is their role so pivotal to the study? So much so you called it the backbone, literally it’s what supports the whole body. Yikes!

[@realdavidpayne]

$36k to $55k is more accurate... clinical research coordinators are NOT earning $100k

[@dansfera]

Oh I do know a few! It’s nit common but theyre out there

[@wanderlust2053]

What is a clinical research specialist? Is it higher than a coordinator? What experience do you need for and what do they do?

[@realdavidpayne]

@@wanderlust2053 institutions used different terms but the universal one is clinical research coordinator
