Join SoCRA - this will allow you to begin networking and understand the roles in clinical research. You will receive four SoCRA Source magazines per year and the opportunity to attend our annual conference, which has educational sessions at a reduced rate. Attend our educational programs beginning with the Clinical Science Course which is a five day workshop aimed at those new to the field and those wanting a refresher. See Educational Workshops for more information.
Certification is recommended.
For those not eligible, the opportunity will still be there when they meet eligibility requirements. A study guide is available and this is a good reference tool to have even if not taking the exam. Both journals are excellent in the way of educating the clinical research professional and introducing the reader to the many career opportunities. Lastly, talk to others in the field and ask them what they do and how. SoCRA offers a 5-day course.
