Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC)
Foundational Program
What your colleagues are saying: “Essential,” “Empowering,”
“I wish I had taken this course sooner!”
Despite taking the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative
(CITI) tutorial, are you still unsure of how to manage a problem
you just encountered? This two-day program enables participants
to seamlessly recognize and confidently manage real-life research
scenarios. Taught by a seasoned clinical research professional,
participants receive exposure to common problems and solutions,
peppered with “don’t do this” guidelines. You will also have access
to resources, support programs and a community of peers to aid
in compliance.
This class is TransCelerate GCP recognized for industry
studies and is approved by the Association of Clinical Research
Professionals (ACRP) for 12 Continuing Medical Education
(CME)/Continuing Education Unit (CEU) credits.

research staff that may require proof of training to perform EKG,
phlebotomy and vital signs. Covered by the NYULMC Tuition
Remission Program, the condensed training takes place in

for access to state-of-the-art training facilities and first-rate
