The Accelerated Program of Education, Exposure, and Experience for Clinical Research Associates (APEX CRA) provides foundational clinical research training including project and system experience.
As they progress through the program, APEX CRAs perform billable project tasks to support the CRAs and Clinical Operations Leads (COLs) with a focus in three developmental areas: Project Support, Initiation CRA support, and Site Facing support. They are required to complete the ACRP Entry Level Knowledge Assessment and are enrolled in a 1-year membership to the ACRP.
APEX CRAs work closely with CRAs to gain exposure to and experience with the CRA role and its responsibilities across a period four months. They get the opportunity to practically apply in-class concepts with day-to-day application by working with clinical systems including Clinical Trial Management Systems (CTMS), Electronic Data Capture, Safety Information Systems, and TMF platforms. Instructor-led trainings are supplemented with ongoing coaching and support of Line Managers and COLs.
APEX CRAs accompany CRAs for observational and co-monitoring support on-site or during remote visits which combines learning for the APEX CRAs and workload aid for their CRA colleagues. Upon completion of the program, APEX CRAs are well-positioned to independently function within the CRA role and to immediately begin successful monitoring.
At Parexel, the CRA role offers the opportunity to go beyond the role of a typical clinical monitor. CRA’s are accountable for using their expertise to build and maintain the site relationship and ensure they’re set up for success. As the clinical sites’ sole point of contact, this includes addressing and resolving site issues and questions. You’ll also manage site quality and delivery from site identification through to close-out.
Travel expectations: The CRA role is a largely field based role that requires frequent travel multiple times per month. Investigator sites participating in studies span the country, from large research centers to smaller offices, so traveling to them is a part of the CRAs role. You can expect at least five trips per month that are multi-day, overnight stays in different locations. Travel time can vary widely depending on the location of the site, flights, proximity to the airport and travel delays. In addition, there are other factors that will impact the travel times including your location, the study you are working on and the location of the sites. During the first six months, travel will be limited but, as your development continues, traveling will increase.
